During a press conference at House of Help City of Hope, an anti-poverty organization in Washington, D.C., House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said that policy should reflect the lessons taught by people who are “on the front lines fighting poverty successfully” such as House of Help’s founder Bishop Shirley Holloway.
“The problem we have had in government for too long is that we think the way to fight poverty is to treat its symptoms. And when we treat the symptoms of poverty, we perpetuate poverty. We need to go at the root causes of poverty to break the cycle of poverty,” Ryan said, adding, “We should measure success based on results, outcomes, are our efforts working to actually get people out of poverty instead of measuring success based on input, on effort, are we spending enough money, do we have enough programs, do we have enough people on these programs?”

Awesome a positive plan. Lets see how that morphs to the realities
boil it down...teach a man to fish.
Always funny how those folks "receiving benefits" are able to produce a government issued ID for eligibility, but can't get one for voting.
Beats the daylights out of the Democrats' plan, which remains at "We will give you free stuff with no expectation of returned effort on your part, in exchange for your vote."
