Typical
Typical rhetoric from the hero of one of our so-called parties - so-called because they have completely lost track of anything resembling the ideologies they are supposed to represent, true of every party except the Libertarians who are merely inept.
Advice on dealing with poverty on a global level from a man who's first considered act as an ex-President, after being told that asking the taxpayers to pay millions in rent to give him offices in the WTC would be bad for Hillary's presidential aspirations, was to destroy a large percentage of the small businesses in Harlem by putting his offices there - instantly driving rents through the roof.
Most immigrants, the poor ones, don't come here because we are the land of opportunity, not any more. And they don't come here because we are a bastion of liberty, because we aren't any more. They come here for the social programs, and we can't and will never be able to afford to take enough people in to stop wars or end suffering as long as they are in place. That's the reality of the situation, and BC doesn't grasp it.
If he really wants to help the world's poor, he'll push for us to return to where we were before the Great Society, when an honest, hard working immigrant could give his children a good life. The last thing we need is a World Bank president who thinks we can solve all the world's problems with government cheese and housing projects.
