What Should be Done?

I am not informed enough to create a flawless policy to cure poverty but I do feel certain current methods can be improved. For example, the housing help should be more readily available but the terms given to the residents should be followed and strictly enforced. This will cut back on it abuse, allowing the policy to work and stay in place. Another area that should be improved on is the amount of quality education opportunities for our children. Allowing every child to get a proper education is important to their future success. While touching on the subject of children, I feel like there should be some sort of policy made to control the birth rate. I do not know the right answer to this, keeping in mind our rights as citizens. But some ideas I do have are determining the number of children a family is allowed to have based on their combined income. I don't know how something like this could be monitored and implemented, but in general there needs to be more time and money spent on the issue of poverty. It is huge around the world and far to many people take it lightly just because it is not them. It is very serious and needs a lot of time and care applied to it until it is no longer a problem.
