Quote:If the jobs don't make it back, then the promise isn't kept. Crime is heavily influenced by education and poverty. You can help resolve poverty by providing jobs, which trade re-negotiation, small business creation via tax/regulation cuts, and infrastructure spending *should* do. Also eradicating common core, providing school choice, expanding school-type options, and encouraging vocational training can go a long way in improving education. I am hoping whoever Trump puts in charge of education takes a strong look at Finland's very effective educational system, which is much different than ours.

 

Also, allowing state police officers to do their jobs without a threatening and abusive DoJ can improve efficiency within policing.

 

People can't get out of poverty just by getting jobs. During his DNC speech, Bernie Sanders talked about many full-time employees still being in poverty because $7.25 an hour is not enough to cover living costs. He ended that part of his speech with this statement: "We need to make minimum wage living wage." Bringing jobs back to inner cities is step 1, but it is not enough to just make jobs available when poverty is a big problem.

 

One debate question was about the "stop and frisk" tactic for reducing violent crimes. Donald Trump said he likes the idea because it maintains law and order. Hillary Clinton said it is unconstitutional. What's your opinion?
