Build A Better Bridge
The social welfare programs of the War on Poverty, which began in the 60s, have dramatically reduced the poverty rate. However, in absolute numbers, there are millions more living in poverty than in the 1960s. Moreover, social welfare programs do not create wealth, "good capitalism" creates wealth.
While capitalism creates wealth, since the 1960s, the gap between top earners and average workers has widened considerably. Further, Automation and foreign competition have made the job market much more competitive. Similarly, the cost of housing has greatly outpaced inflation. The chances of "a hardworking American" having a decent-paying job and affordable home have greatly decreased.
Build A Better Bridge offers several low-cost/no-cost ideas to improve social welfare programs, to have capitalism serve the common good, and increase the availability of affordable housing.
