What we want to do is have a little reality check here because how is it best to end poverty. We know we have to maintain programs that are there to help people in need. But look at what happened over the space of the last seven years. The average African-American family has lost $2600 in income. Compare that to the prior eight years when we had a president who took on the fight of the '90s and stood up against the Republicans, often at great cost and the typical African-American family income went up $7600 during the 1990's.
