Are you excited about the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight? Yeah? How about watching it on HBO pay per view since you won’t be able to score a ticket that is sure to cost in the 5 figures. Read More

Yes there has been a lot of economic growth, but only in the top 1% of the people.

In 2011, the income gap between rich and poor people grew to the widest in more than 40 years, and the poverty rate remained at almost a two-decade high. And now, there are 46.2 million people in poverty. This number is the highest in 53 years since the Census Bureau has been collecting the statistic.

But the current political discourse in the country is not where it is supposed to be. Cutting the poverty rate starts in investing in education. We need to get people out of the low-paying jobs-- it is the biggest factor in poverty. Modern education and skill development is a strategy that works well for people to attain higher paying, and self-fulfilling jobs.

Just a decade before the current situation in the Sudan, the genocide in Rwanda ravaged the area where millions of people were slaughtered like "cockroaches". The world said never again. Then the Sudan genocide happened, and we all just watch as it unravels.

I do not believe that a favorable resolution from the United Nations Security Council should be a sine qua non for a limited armed intervention to protect innocent civilians in the Darfur region of the Sudan.
