The economy is roaring along. Thanks to Trump and his use of Capitalism's tenets we are truly the wealthiest nation in the world. Is it not obscene that there are places in , let's say New York ,that make Soweto look like Beverly Hills. We have had ineffectual poverty programs and still there is a desolation that seems to be tolerable because of some unspoken conviction of futility. "The poor will always be with us," but nobody uses such words any longer. They use code words instead, such as 'structural' and 'behavioral' as long as the middle class is doing fine.Not one penny should be spent on foreign aid until those who live in say, East New York are made to have the opportunity to get education and training without fear of retribution.
