Stanford Poverty Website
This is an outstanding web site dedicated to a topic that affects GDP, healtcare enconomics, workforce productivity, the mental health system, and the political climate in America. At a time when there is a moral and economic policy war between Libertarian Social Darwinism and the Soul of the American Dream and sense of United We Stand sociopolitico cohesion this web site is one of the most important in modern times. Well done Stanford!
