JF, in reality Bush's tax cuts don't amount to much. You were asking about how we can reduce the poverty levels in America, but the only solutions you proposed are aimed at balancing the budget and reducing dependence on oil. Both factors are very important if we want this economy to remain relatively strong, but housing will still be unaffordable for lots of Americans and health insurance will still be a mess.

In any case, I was just brainstorming a few solutions that we could try to directly address poverty. One thing I heard last week was that it costs just over $50K to support a family of four in California. I didn't hear the cost breakdown, but I remember that the median price of a home here in the OC is over $600K, so I can put two and two together. Meanwhile, I hear more millionaires got to where they are thanks to real estate over anything else.

But stopping illegal immigration is easy... anybody that hires an illegal goes to jail for 90 days.

I like it. Unfortunately, you're just going to hear it from the Hispanic community as employers start questioning their Hispanic employees. They don't call illegal immigrants "undocumented" just to be sensitive, you know.
