If DC becomes a state it will lead the nation in three statistics: Out of wedlock births, high school dropouts, and income gap.

There's a connection. Spend all the cash you want it won't do a thing until those three criteria are met.

That's true for whites and blacks. What about successful black families? What did they do? Did they just get lucky?

Say it again:

1. Education
2. No incarceration.
3. No gestation without a two parent family.


Uh oh, this post won’t last long, lol

I like this. Investing more money in our city and the quadrants that have been left behind - far NE, upper NW, and SE over the river is a great idea. But what the hell is a baby bond?
