I wish it were that easy. Far too many in that pool are unemployable; they lack skills, education, work ethic and basic socialization. I would love to see that pool tapped and converted into employed and productive people. But it will take a sea change in culture to do it.

Then there is drug abuse and alcohol abuse and attitude

There is really no hope and no solution beyond an earthquake or a nuke

That will work only if the EBT culture and the resistance to education as "acting white" can be changed.
