education/ more social problems

Education

There must be a commitment to a free education for all. There should be free school lunches, school supplies, and free athletic events, free insurance, transportation. If we provided for all children rich or poor then there would be no stigma attached to poverty. All would have equal access to programs offered. Children should not be forcibly segregated by financial status. Offering free education to everyone equally would reduce drop out rates among low income children.

* special supplemental food program for women, infants and children has reduced rates of infants mortality and low-birth weight babies. One dollar invested in pre-natal component of WIC (women, infant, children) saves three dollars in short term hospital costs.

* Prenatal coverage by Medicaid has led to a decrease in neonatal and infant mortality. One dollar on comprehensive prenatal care saves three dollars and thirty-eight cents.

* The success of childhood immunization program has meant dramatic decreases in mumps, rubella, measles polio and other diseases; one dollar spent saves ten in later medical costs.

*Head start has had great results in preparing youngsters for school; one dollar invested in quality preschool saves $4.75 in costs of special education, public assistance and crime.

* extra educational help provided by chapter 1 compensatory education to disadvantaged students has been linked to achievement gains in reading and mathematics; for every 500 dollars annually saves 3,000 dollars repeating a grade.

* Job corps and youth training programs resulted in gains in employability, wages and success while in school and afterwards; one dollar yields $1.45 to the American society.

crime/ social problems

Crime…………
First……….Organized crime(oc) supplies illegal goods and services that are in great demand! For that reason oc fills a need and that leads to it’s existence. Organized crime fills a vacuum left by legitimate entrepreneurs. If victimless crimes were decriminalized oc would be left with products and services that could easily and cheaply supplied by legitimate sources.

Second…oc thrives on corruption on police and government officials for survival and continued profitability. Bribery, campaign contributions, delivery of votes from lobbyist etc…. are used to influence police, city counsels and legislators to look the other way.

One of the most important characteristics of oc is its use of violence to enforce conformity within the organization. There are strict rules for conduct and means of enforcing those rules. Individuals who cheat or fail to meet their obligations are disciplined severely, violence is used to eliminate competition. When rival organizations vie for distribution of a particular service or product the struggle is often extremely violent.

Should we legalize drugs, prostitution…. Etc? wtf?
