re: #159 brownbagj

I would agree with EVERYTHING you stated…except for that last sentence.

I do not think being poor is fate for everyone that is in that state currently. For some, unfortunately it is and we should help those people.

I have seen many, including myself, get out of being poor.

This is one of the many reasons so many come here to the USA.

Getting out of being poor often requires resources that are becoming increasingly scarce

Education is a great way to get out of being poor, but education costs are skyrocketing and loans are more difficult to get and don’t cover as much.
