[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The solution begins with investment in poor communities. To be specific, massive investment in:

Health care, including committed and federally-coordinated public health efforts (so that some states, e.g., WV and Mississippi, can't opt out) on lead exposure, teen pregnancy prevention, health/education screening and early intervention services for children, and both emergency and long-term mental health services. Also, a huge investment is needed in drug education and detox services throughout both rural and urban America.

Improved education so that we don't raise yet another generation in which the only way to get a decent, non soul-sucking education in the US is to have the $ to move to a rich neighborhood or pay for private school.

Affordable housing so that people can actually afford to live in places where there are jobs.

The reverse as well: job-building strategies--including moving some federal operations to more remote communities--and a federal change to a living minimum wage so that we begin to see livable-wage jobs in places where housing IS affordable.
