Trying to stay on thread here, but blaming all of this on poverty as many do does not wash with me anyway.....the poor of the 30's and 40's made it and I am sure there was crime but not like what is happening today.
They had one thing that Grace pointed out...a family, a discipline system..a focus.

We have lost all of that.....do you know, to your point, that while I was in Tampa I discovered that groups got together to train others how to beat the system....how to insure you never work ?

I am for for doing all we can help, but we are doing a poor job of insuring it is done correctly, with compassion and fairness. By not even discussing welfare versus min wage is wrong...no matter the accuracy of the numbers. IT IS AN ISSUE....again, we seem to be predisposed to make every thing political instead of using common sense.
