Worse, although in the short term throwing money at the issue "makes the

after all, they're only killing each other, right? -- it has created a
growing problem that cannot end well. We simply must face this issue and
deal with it as a society, sooner than later, rather than meekly
continuing to accept the Left's failed approach to the problem.
Very reminiscent of the Palistinians and other in the Middle East that won't
face up to their problems, instead blame others most noticably Israel.


Well put, Jay. We've thrown trillions at the problem and the problem
persists. Money is not the answer.

Persists? Try "has been exacerbated". Thomas Sowell has done a ton of work
and published copious materials on how progress for blacks has been stunted
since their progress peaked in the late 1950's.
