Cutting child poverty in half means you’re getting half the job done - and that’s not enough. When GOP wanted gargantuan tax cuts for their friends they didn’t take baby steps. Neither should we.

MLK Junior argued against “the tranquilizing drug of gradualism.” On one hand what you’re saying is true, but the situation is so dire for so many people that we need an immediate & massive infusion of economic hope & opportunity into their lives.

The greatest country in the world should be able to eliminate child poverty. Why is the only War America ever failed to give full effort in, the War on Poverty?

2 Trillion in what Bernie is calling the 1st installment. I wonder if this package also has money in it for the House of Representatives pay like the last one that Trump reluctantly signed into law. usdebtclock.org/

The first step in any plan to cut child poverty in America is to encourage and educate people into quit having children they cannot afford to raise and support on their own.

Inequality is extremely serious, possibly our biggest problem.

What does poverty mean? If the govt provides food, shelter, utilities and a little spending money, is that poverty?
