The solutions to these inner-city problems are always ignored, because there’d be pain involved. First, phase-out the illegal immigrants with strict laws for enforcement on them and employers, over a couple years, and this would help our citizens who’re unemployed and wages wouldn’t be so artificially depressed. Second, give one year warning and stop rewarding young women giving birth with no insurance and no money to pay our hospitals. They should be penalized for costing taxpayers $10,000 for the birth and countless tens of thousands more for the child they were unable to pay for. Penalized by whatever means necessary to reduce the chance of it happening again. Third, get the govt (aka taxpayers) out of the housing and food stamp market. If people need food for subsistence living, then set up a hundred food centers with one cheap nutrient-enhanced food and make the people bring their own damn bowl and spoon…..we have to encourage some kind of responsibility for people who don’t even have money to buy their own food. Next, get tough on crime, with very long prison sentences and send them to a warmer-weather prison, tent-cities, in the south like Sheriff Joe’s in Arizona. No amenities, and one type of cheap food. Next, reduce the govt services and number of govt jobs. These programs started in the 1930s and 1960s and they’ve become too much burden on the taxpayers. Next, give some substantial “reward” to middle-school and high school grads. And lastly, reduce taxes for everyone ( and eliminate property taxes) so that paychecks go farther and the economy gets more vibrant. All this adds up to more capitalism, less welfare, and tougher on illegal aliens and crime. Not complicated, but not politically correct either, with our Democrat politicians and voters. Therefore, unfortunately, it ain’t gonna happen, but it’s the only chance.
