Being of the Vietnam era, always brings to my mind, civic strikes and marches. I was active in the peace movement.
But we digress from poverty and solutions. The obvious solution is training kids for decent work/decent pay, responsible behavior on the job, at home and in the community. Unfortunately in rural, suburban and urban communities, parents so stressed, can't provide the over sight needed. I firmly believe that the welfare program needs a huge over haul. Not deleteing benefits but making them more available. People need help not overwhelming obstacles.
