If the US gov’t wanted to eradicate poverty, it could do so much to eradicate poverty. If it wanted to eradicate hunger, it could do so much to eradicate hunger. If it wanted to eradicate illiteracy, it could do so much to eradicate illiteracy. The lesson here? It really doesn’t.

Richest nation on earth, yet living like people in Third World countries because the Warlords have to maintain their opulent lifestyle. Which party is in power is totally irrelevant. They are one and the same in purpose and power.

Government can only work that way if everyone wants that. The problem is half this nation doesn’t unless it helps them somehow.

If it wanted to put people to work on our nation's infrastructure, (which is failing at a mass rate) it would create more middle class jobs, but neither party cares, has no else figured out yet, that Democrats and Republicans are systematically trying to destroy this country...🤔

Indeed! We have always had the ability. Unfortunately, most or all of our leadership lacks the will to do it.

A State Department guy once told me —The US government is like woven cloth Some parts are one way, want one thing some parts another It might seem like a monolith, but it’s not We need more good people in lower offices, not just in the highest

I think this 40 day old administration has a bill they are trying to move through Congress that will help Americans. Meanwhile donate money to food banks, give out food at food banks or volunteer to help within your community.
