Looks like the "ladder out of poverty" being provided to the poor by Obama and the Democrats is missing a few rungs:
Interesting; Finland has top notch health care (free) and top notch education (including through university all free). Too bad Finland also has mega multi-national Pory (http://www.poyry.com/) advising the Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan DNR's on power generating, mining and forestry issues when we should be learning about health care and education from Finland. Perhaps the politicians being bribed by Poyry could at least ask them for connections about how to solve poverty, better our schools and reform health care?
I wonder what percent of their budgets Iceland and Finland spend on militarization and wars?
Perhaps when Van Jones comes to town he will have some comments on this Minnesota Arms Spending Alternative Project:

I wonder why Democratic Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton hasn't taken the initiative to get all the Governors together to tell Obama we need a war on poverty not drone wars killing poor children?
I wonder where child poverty stands in relation to these other Nations for the sovereign Indian Nations? Probably would be way off the chart.
Wouldn't it be something if we could see countries rated on where they stack up when it comes to "democracy?" No doubt the United States and Canada would be tied for first place. Too bad boasts of "democracy" can't fill the bellies of hungry children.
Something to think about:
Poverty wages and racist discrimination in employment cause poverty.
