economic issues first and foremost. It's completely nonsensical to claim that improving schools won't take massive investment, particularly in inner cities. To begin with there are bricks and mortar issues. Lots of them. Affordable childcare? Again,that requires investment by the government. Guess what Josh? Programs for at risk youth cost money

Huge fail, Josh. your biggest ever. And anyone who tries to separate social issues from economic justice is full of..... it.
