During the 1960s, Lawyer General Ramsey Clark wanted everyone to understand that the United States government needed to combat crime by improving the terrible conditions under which very poor people were living.

There are already a lot of institutions that offer training for person, but there age is an issue because some institutions students have to be between 16-25 year old . Build training institution for older persons which gives benefits such as free tuition or fee lunches. Variety of training like road construction, highway engineering, carpentry, thing that are always in demand. Employ our own residents to help increase the country economy position which in return will also lessen poverty. Build businesses on unused/ vacant land. Businesses such as community business centers, training offices, small carpentry office.
