"The government should build homes, through labor of unemployed, and sell them to poor people. The buyers of the homes would then in return have to work for the government to pay off their home. Some of the jobs would be building of more homes and improving the United States infrastructure. In essence this could also work for establishing businesses in the inner city. The people will not loot and burn what they or friends own. Eventually the businesses that were created by government money will expand and hire more workers. These workers will have more money to spend and will cause more businesses to expand. The wheels of capitalism will then be turning once again. Poverty could end if the government invested money in the future of people instead of giving them a welfare check every month."
