[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Inter generational poverty will never be solved no matter how many billions of dollars we spend.  $15 minim wage is also not a long term solution. Shemeka Had 2 kids by the age of  21 then three more.She came from a mom who also 5 kids by the age of 21. Antonio was one of 8 kids. All families had rotating men, boyfriends in and out of the house, or kids in foster care.   Until families in poverty have easy and free access to birth control and are counseled on this personally. This is what no one talks about. It’s almost impossible to pull one person out of systemic poverty much less one person and five minor children.[/quote]

I 100% agree with this.  I wish it was more politically correct to encourage longer lasting birth control earlier and often.  Having children in your teens seriously limits a woman and her children's opportunities to get out of poverty.  [/quote]

Minimum wage will not support a single mother with five children.  I worked for CPS years ago in NY and would see mothers under 30 with 8 children living in abject poverty.  My DH and I make a little over $200,000 a year living in DC and I don't know how we could afford 8 children without going into poverty.[/quote]
