In my opinion that is extremely rare today that a person who worked hard to climb out of poverty would be totally unable to do so. Maybe the mentally handicapped. Other than that, a lifetime of solid decisions, delayed gratification, and work ethic will allow anyone to slowly improve their lot in life to the point they are no longer impoverished.
Nah, Trump's floor is about 38-39%. His ceiling is around 46%.

11.4% percent of jobs pay poverty wagesThat’s a transitional job. I flipped burgers when I was young. It isn’t a career.
So who would flip burgers? Anyone starting out in their work career.
They are your average joes.a quarter of all workers make less than 30K a year.

They are your average joes.
Good commentary25% of all workers make at or less than 30K,
I don't think that paints the whole picture.
Agree with that. What about a person from harlem with a mother who is an alcoholic
and has no husband. Poor child sees crime all around and the people with money and power are criminals. Yes if he is exceptionally gifted he will get out of there and there are hundreds of stories about such people. But what about the average joe.
Sure.So, you Trump supporters are looking at polls, huh? They do matter and are worth looking at right now?
Good commentary
Good to knowI find your commentary insufficient.
Possibly to the point of being intentionally misleading.
That is a solution for some of them,but every body is not fit for the army some of them may have bone spurs. There should be a civilian program also.Great point and that is sad. Public education doesn’t have the resources to convince an average or below average person how their choices would continue the cycle of poverty and hardship. The best option in my opinion would be the ability to join the military at 14-16 years old in a non combat position. GED training, vocational training and physical training so you are set to join the real military at 18 if you so choose. Offer career counseling and some starter money for a new location away from the circumstances that caused your position to be hopeless in the first place.
That would be a practical and effective federal program and if you did not choose that route we would know if you want to get out of poverty or not.

What do you consider living in poverty? Is it some income number or is it a standard of living?
So they have the choice to divorce themselves from those influences in large part.Seems like there are others that have no chance. Person X, might have family members who continually screw up and torpedo their chances. Person Y might just have bad luck. Some individuals have a razor thin margin that will determine whether or not he/she can successfully find their way out of the vicious cycle.

My father had to fight my grandfather to go to school. It can be hard but it is doable.Some do.
2). I agree that Trump has been good for Israel. However, the same is true for all POTUS, in my lifetime, save one. There is absolutely no reason to believe that Trump's successor won't be a strong partner to Israel.
Then the concept should be developed and may be several thousand people would come out of the situation they are at
1). Remember that you said "tump is the economy" 4 years from now. IMO, he is borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. Short term gains over long term vision
There are two things that the Dem candidate can ding Trump on. One is of Trump's own doing, Iran. The other Trump has been vague on as to not disrupt his base, removing Marijuana from the narcotics schedule.
obama’s vision was the jobs are gone
no magic wand
hand the chinese whatever they want
regulate the hell out of
healthcare,
energy,
small business
manufacturing
the peter to paul is cash coming back to the states and business investing cash to grow
again absolute denial
The US does plenty about poverty, from both the public and private sectors. Where are you getting that I'm saying do nothing about it?Of course.
Are we now back to doing nothing about it, as it is a waste of time/money?
Where are you getting that I'm saying do nothing about it?
I'm eager to see if Blexit is real.
"Racist" Trump dismissed plantation cracker Clinton's "3 Strikes, You're Out", devastating to black America.
Black Americans, Asian Americans and Hispanic Americans now see lowest unemployment numbers since records have been kept.
Pastor Scott tells me Trump might be best president for black America in his lifetime.
My black American paternal school teacher auntie once told me the Africans would one day catch on to the Democrats' mountain of empty promises.
"Racist" Trump has hired more minorities than all 24 Marxists running for president combined.
Literally what about that time the president wanted 5 innocent black kids executedLiterally whataboutism.
Not germane to this conversation.Literally what about that time the president wanted 5 innocent black kids executed

We had the nuclear deal bin place with Iran and Trump has kept increasing financial sanctions. Those sanctions have crippled Iran's economy and caused the population to call for Tehran to take action. Tehran has responded with violence in the gulf against oil tankers and increasing support for radical groups in the middle East. Trump has hated the nuclear deal but knows he cannot withdrawal without losing allies in Europe. He is using increased sanctions to force Tehran's hand and force them to do stupid things giving him cause to back out of the deal.dems can ding trump on iran
why?
because he quit a chamberlain pacification policy?
