No Holiday for Hunger

The newly released Census report provides a clue..." In 2011 children born to minorities, Latino, Blck and Asian, outnumber white births for the first time in American history.And, notwithstanding the "mix" between poor and not-poor births, the fact is that those children born to poor minority parent(s) are proven to be less healthy, more dependent on social programs, less likely to get educated, while at the same time their mostly unmarried parent(s) also place great demands on society, and lose their own opportunity to prosper through education and training. We have created this mess through misguided social policies, compounded by poor leadership, not one of whom I have every heard counsel poor and minority girls to avoid unprotected sex, eschew unmarried parenthood, value their selves and look toward personal achievement.

Poverty persists because there are little or no consequences for bad decisions. Poverty persists because it is of benefit to so-called community and religious leaders who generate power through numbers of constituents, and so want more constituents, not less.
