Honest thoughts:
The minimum wage should be increased to increase the incomes of those in need to a more acceptable level. It’s impossible to live on $13/hr.
We now have 2 times more jobs available than the number of unemployed. If you’re capable of working, receiving benefits should be a contingency. Thereby, partial benefits could be added to your earned wages to give you a better overall income. Both sides win with this approach.
We should allocate funds away from the military budget to build housing for the less fortunate in the suburbs, not the cities. The education systems are better there . Thus, it gives people a chance to break the cycle of need.
All non-public schools should be required to give full scholarships to the less fortunate in their surrounding communities. Target 10% of total admissions. Typical admission standards still apply. The most able still get the benefit. Again, this will break the underemployment cycle for life for these children.
There’s much more we can easily do, but no one is likely to read too much further…
