Your solution is ...?

What are the effects of trauma financially? A person weighted down, chained to a nervous system full of insecurity and fear, an empty glass, depressed and deprived. Are there any solutions? Please American ego, don't turn away in dismay and disgust!

Impoverished Americans have access to housing assistance, food stamps, and healthcare. You wanting to expand social programs has nothing to do with the poor & everything to do with the middle class. If that’s your position, that’s fine. Just own it & stop hiding behind the poor.

If you think thats something that society is to be blamed for, rather than those in poverty, then you are part of the problem. This is the U S The streets here are paved with gold. Just ask some truck driver making a 6 figure salary.

The United States is is a representative republic with a federalist style government..not a democracy & our poor are wealthy compared to the rest of the world. That being said, the experience of poverty here is worse than poorer countries & due to cultural & spiritual lack.

There's that term again, " advanced democracy ". Why do you use it when we clearly are neither. More apt would be an empire in steep decline.

I've heard people.from the balkans (a place the US bombed into oblivion some 30 years ago) call the US a "shithole country" with no irony and they're right. They have affordable college, free healthcare, accessible medicine, no child labor, mandatory paid maternity leave etc...
