What do you personally think should be done about poverty ?

Globally and in America I think one way to improve poverty is to make more jobs available for the low class and raise the minimum wage. Although the government have programs for housing, food and educations they sometimes make it hard for people to get assistance from these programs. Of course the government cannot help everyone in need but i do believe they can do a better job at trying to help these individuals. More housing for the homeless should be created, we should have facilities that help these individuals learn basic work knowledge and financial stability.

Drugs and crime is a factor of poverty therefore I believe enforcement should come up with new policies and ways to try to prevent crime and drug usage.
