Well not all, the members of the Comintern on beacon Hill will continue to live lavishly while we, the great unwashed, freeze in the darkness with empty stomachs.
You just have to love the dream team on Beacon Hill. I got mine and F you!

I just returned from four days on a native American community in Arizona. Folks around these parts have no idea what poverty is. The alleged “underserved” and alleged “disadvantaged” exist like royalty as compared to the native Americans that I spent time with. Alleged do-gooders here in Masachusetts may be able to assuage their consciences a tad more if they spent some time attempting
to deliver some healthcare and similar services in the most impoverished areas of this country: native American communities otherwise known as reservations.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
<
p>We are required, by the document that comprises the supreme law of our land, to promote the general welfare of the people – it is one of the stated purposes of the Constitiution. Because of that, we should stake out public policy positions with the goal of eradicating poverty and its equally evil twin, hunger.

p>Money spent on food stamps is money well spent – for every $1.00 spent on food stamps, we see $1.73 in increased economic activity – compare that to the economic effects of tax cuts, where we get $1.02 of increaed economic activity for $1.00 in tax cuts.

p>We need to endorse pragmatic solutions that solve problems. As MCRD notes above, there are pockets of poverty in the USA where conditions are much more severe than they are around here, but that’s no excuse for inaction on the local level.
