It is an abusive cycle that the US is not even attempting to solve.

Dude there is over 300 million people in the US. You can't even possibly comprehend how difficult it is to fix poverty in such a large country. Name a country over 50 million that doesn't have poverty issues? It's impossible even in microscopic countries like Canada to corner poverty.

How well is the War on Drugs doing in Canada? It's just as easy here to get your hands on the stuff if not easier than the US. There are no easy solutions for countries of massive population. There just isn't.
