My poverty days were in the early 1970s through the early 1980s.
During this time I was either unskilled or others had no idea of the scope of my skills.
I recall my mama bringing dinner to my apartment on Beltline Blvd and that being some of the only food I had in over a week.
It was amazing how inept I was in the paying of bills and coordinating my activities of daily living in accordance with my meager budget.
I'm happy to say that soon after the start of the 1980s the world began to recognize that level of skill at my command and everything changed abruptly.
When you are one of few able to accomplish a task the fact that you can do it and the PhDs cannot is the ONLY thing that matters.
Since that time I have been a respectable earner and have concentrated on taking care of business to the best of my ability.
Now I am retired and the benefits of those years of very strong earnings is now being given back to me ... minus the deductions from the inept Biden administration and all of the fools Joseph Biden employs in his destruction of the country.
Today is War on Poverty Day. It happens each January 8 as the result of legislation first introduced in 1964 by President Lyndon B Johnson. In theory it expanded economic opportunity through anti-poverty, health, education, and employment policies.
Sounds like a big hand out to me which is what the generation X and Z individuals are looking for anyway. Foreigners like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez seeking "guaranteed incomes" for the shirkers who support her is a prime example for kicking all puerto ricans out of the country.
I don't believe that people should be made to struggle. I believe that those who have contributed to the system should get help when required. I do not think that help should be never ending or be giving to illegals in the country.
Illegals in the country sucking up entitlements should be lined up and shot, preferably in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's front yard.
Pay into the system or forget entitlements. Entitlements are based on the payments made by taxpayers into the system. They are not a mechanism by which the democrats may buy votes ...
God bless America. Free us from the innumerable leeches invading the land at the behest of the criminal Joe Biden and his inept running of the government. He seeks poverty and devastation for the entirety of the United States. I hope the stupid democrats who have NO decency are satisfied.
