fund that settlement, we're going to continue to make it a priority. with respect to the history of fighting poverty, i got my start in public service as a community organizer, working in the shadow of steel plants that have been closed in some of the poorest neighborhoods on the south side of chicago. that's what led me to want to serve. and so i am constantly thinking about how do we create ladders for communities and individuals to climb into the middle class. now, i think the history of antipoverty efforts is that the most important antipoverty effort is growing the economy and making sure there are enough jobs out there. singlemost important thing we can do.
