This is the washington post's (WaPo) so-called "conservative representative",but sounds like she's playing the blame game just like the rest of the WaPo liberals. Democrats answer is more welfare. Republicans have always been about job creation,and still are.Give a man a fish & he's full for a day.Teach a man to fish & he's full for life.

Poverty Insights
warning
Warning: beware of organizations or individuals who believe that fighting poverty includes “population control.” They think, wrongly, that if there were LESS people, there would be MORE food & other resources available for people. They are WRONG. With more people, we have more individuals to help create & sustain infrastructures that can & will alleviate poverty, assist the disabled & elderly, & create good communities. Those in favor of so-called “population control” usually also support abortion & maybe even assisted suicide or other forms of euthanasia . It’s a slippery slope that is the EXACT OPPOSITE of God’s intention for the world.
