[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't watch his speech but American public schools ARE awful....[/quote]

I read a study several years back regarding out system compared to Europe.  The BIGGEST difference cited was that other countries pay for pre-K, healthcare and provide food.  Kids go to school ready to learn.  You can't get shit out of republicans.[/quote]

My child's school provide breakfast and lunch and companies provide food for weekend backpacks given to children who are food insecure.  These same children were in Headstart and receive Medicaid.  Not sure what I am missing here.  [/quote]

Bingo.  There are all kinds of safety nets in place for those who need them.  But, for some reason, it hasn’t made a big difference in the quality of education.  
I think Donald Trump, Jr. is onto something.  [/quote]
Not only haven't all the safety nets made a difference in the quality of the education, all the social welfare programs put forth by President Johnson's haven't made a dent in poverty. [/quote]

Perhaps the Republicsn insistence on dismantling the safety net and community redevelopment programs, which started under Reagan and continued with the acquiescence of Bill Clinton, has had an effect.  [/quote]
Yeah, yeah....blame the Republicans. (It's always someone else's fault.)

First, the rise in the poverty rate in the early 1980s was due to a deep recession, with unemployment above 11%. It followed the high double-digit inflation years of Jimmy Carter.

Second, you're not really defending the Community Reinvestment Act, are you? Tha liberal hogwash that "everyone deserves to buy a house" led to the crisis with the subprime loans - you know, lend money to low-income people to buy houses they can't afford - which in turn crashed the entire economy.
