There is a lot of discussion every year about how to fix low income families. “Distribute more money to them to even out the thier personal defecit” - seems to be the common Government Cure Tactic.

The seed of poverty is undereducation in a society where technology is rapidly advancing to make products more efficient at a lower cost. Loss of jobs during this process results in less demand for products. Having three children when a couple can barely afford the food, clothing, supplies and childcare for one child is just stumps most of us. Is poverty truly just the lack of available jobs, or is it the lack of employable workers? Why not make college free for American Citizens? We have a shortage of nurses, engineers, glaziers, computer programers. How could it really harm us to have smarter people in this country? Better jobs, more money, better insurance coverage!

Maybe we should just print more money afterall.
