We have a poverty crisis. Not everyone can work (health, circumstances) and there aren't jobs for all who urgently need one. The US shipped out a huge share of our working class jobs since the 1980s, ended welfare aid in the 1990s. You can't get a job once you no longer have a home address, phone, bus fare. After years of misinformation, we need a legitimate public discussion about the realities and the impact of US poverty today.
