"The problem cannot be that America doesn't know how to reduce poverty. Our peer nations in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East have dramatically lower rates of poverty than the United States and our best social scientists regularly produce peer-reviewed studies that outline policies that have reduced poverty here and elsewhere. Neither can the problem be that the United States lacks resources. We are the single largest economy in the world. When we want to go to war, we pay for it. When congress decides to bail out banks, they can do it. What we lack is a matter of conscience."
