that's something we agree about: Dems and GOP are part of the political power system and have contributed to the cycle of poverty in many inner cities all across America...

these poverty zones exist in both Red and Blue states...although Dems talk a good game, they haven't delivered what they've promised...

GOP doesn't bother to make promises they don't intend to keep...helping the poor is not on their agenda...but sometimes what the GOP aspires to and does actually makes poverty worse


So historically low unemployment didn't help poor people?

You mean from the tail end of the Obama economy that pulled us out of the bush economy which wasn’t bush’s fault and before the current economy that isn’t Trumps fault?

That is considered by Alan Greenspan, who in his biography says that if that election was held a couple months later (when the economy started coming out of recession), Bush1 would have been reelected.

not so much...the poverty rate remained high...low wage/part time jobs helped boost the unemployment number

looks like the predictable pattern is happening again...

a GOP POTUS wrecks the US economy, causing a recession...

Dem POTUS fixes things...

Gig economy helped keep unemployment low. Unfortunately not a ton of actual profit comes into those workers... But they aren't unemployed. And the corporations that run the setup were making bank!$$$ all in all a win.

Trump wants all of the poor to be employed, illegal aliens also. That means he is making money.
