address these areas. It was initially proposed by Democratic Rep. James Clyburn of SC.

For obvious reasons, when Democrats gain power, the budget we devote to rural development mostly tends to be invested where it will get the most bang for the most people for the buck.

The 10-20-30 formula would dedicate 10% of all rural development funds to those areas where 20% or more of the population have lived below the poverty line for 30 or more years.

So now you know that this article's opening premise, like all the rest of this false equalization of Democrats with the Banana Republicans that is flooding our nation, is at best mistaken, at worst devious propaganda meant to undermine our belief in ourselves.

The Democratic leadership does not just "notice," we have detailed plans to attack long-term poverty in these areas . And will when we have the power to do it.

This would be happening right now around the nation if all those who claim to care about poverty had voted Democrat.
