On the way to Canyon Lake there is a billboard that says something to the effect of ending poverty forever and it has a picture of a young man looking into your eyes with a wistful look. I am assuming that the answer they have is an expensive government program with lots of well paid administrators.
I have another solution, one that has stood the test of time. My answer to that heart wrenching appeal is not a program but “Get a job”. There is a simplistic solution for people trying to be successful in life. It has three steps with some variation depending on who is proclaiming it: 1) Don’t get arrested, 2) Graduate from high school, 3) Don’t have any children until after you are married.
I doubt if anyone will share that with him.
