“..problems such as malnutrition, poverty and substandard schools are dealt with..”

Absolute LeftRacist mythology:

Malnutrition-Absolutely not a problem in a country whose “poor” are often upwards of 100 lbs overweight. Or are we talking about his homeland of Kenya here?

Poverty- In the US, where equality of opportunity has existed for decades, poverty is almost always by choice, and it is ALWAYS by choice among the able-bodied and able-minded.

Substandard Schools-The quality of schools is not determined by the tax base or the student/teacher ratio. It is completely dependent on the quality of students attending, more accurately the stability of their nuclear family and the emphasis put on healthy academic achievement.

actually it is a problem, you can be obese and malnourished. And many are because soda, chips, pork rinds, moon pies, twinkies, frozen pizzas, candy, etc. can be bought using food stamps and school lunch aid.
Food stamps should come with cooking classes and strict guidelines on what can be purchased.
