What does it have to do with white people? And I don't think they were saying that it is impossible to ride the bus with a family, but it is certainly not as nice, especially in places with poor public transit. Try taking public transi

I assumed you were talking about single mothers and their children. I think that is a fair assumption since it is not very surprising that the majority of people in poverty are women and children - they do make up the majority of the US pop

I think that going to school should still be seen as an investment, just a more reasonable one. If getting a degree won't help you get a job, I don't think the government should be fully paying for it - you should have to make fin
