Things like , there are too many excuses and you won’t get great jobs but you have to start living better for yourself and your kids. I am sure good policy people can come up with much better than what has been done. I am pretty sure it’s not going to happen in my lifetime and that , in the meanwhile, it’s likely we will have a crisis much worse than we have seen since the civil rights movement was making large progress.
When I was 10-18 I lived in a place that had pockets of “compton” in it. If a republican or a democrat said grow your own vegetables the answer would be “that’s slavery” or something similar…that was just the culture…the right dug in it’s heels and said, ” bullshit how do you help people who won’t help themselves” and the democrats started pandering with lies and negative policies of aid and more vague promises and now excuses and blaming others for the whole problem.
