Summary

Ever since that former California Democrat Governor named Ronald Reagan gave his “Time for Choosing” speech, Conservative’s have wandered further and further away from engaging the issue of poverty. However, Reagan’s ‘do a little arithmetic’ point on poverty budgets vs how much help it’s been to the poor community still pencils out. President Trump shocked the GOP establishment when he went into Detroit in 2016 and asked, “are you better off now?” Eight years later the Black and Latino community support for the GOP has grown to record levels but has the policy the effort to bring free-market, liberty-based solutions grown to match? We sit down with Dr Ed Kornegay and Ehi Aimiuwu from the Center for Poverty Solutions and the Illinois Policy Center to hear about the success that they have had in Chicago and can that be exported to places like Richmond, Norfolk, Charlottesville or even… DC?
