[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 815349, member: 1640"] When the ACE study came out in 1995 it was an eye opener for me. This coupled with my wife’s work in child abuse prevention and my own volunteer work with community collaborations dealing with poverty, all have shaped my view that poverty is rarely caused by poor decisions. It actually is more accurate to say that poverty and early childhood trauma cause bad decisions. These cycles are hard to break without external support systems because they all started from external causes. One example in this country was Social Security and Medicare. Poverty dropped by over 30% due to these programs, prior to which many older people were trapped making poor decisions because there were literally no good decisions to be made. [/QUOTE]
