res- But I do believe that we have forgotten the poor in urban ghettos, which is largely a black and hispanic population; that we all suffer from that forgetfulness; and that the most obvious lever to address that is public school education.

John, I grew up in those "ghetto's" (Washington D.C.) and I can tell you far too many public schools are broke and have been broke for decades. The problem is not that we have forgotten public education as it relates to poverty, the problem is we have far too many people wedded to an ideology, who have prevented systemic improvements from taking hold in government education, thereby, allowing the cycle of ignorance to be perpetuated which is the single biggest factor in poverty.
