Zero percent chance the house bill.passes the senate 

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, several important reviews of the literature failed to establish a clear consensus on the relationship between economic conditions and violent crime. The research presented here applies the procedures of meta-analysis to 34 aggregate data studies reporting on violent crime, poverty, and income inequality. These studies reported a total of 76 zero-order correlation coefficients for all measures of violent crime with either poverty or income inequality. Of the 76 coefficients, all but 2, or 97 percent, were positive. Of the positive coefficients, nearly 80 percent were of at least moderate strength (>.25). It is concluded that poverty and income inequality are each associated with violent crime. 

Someone is very upset they lost this debate to me.  Lol

Well the debt is not at infinity

Can you name a problem the debt has caused you?

It's how you crash an economy

Someone is very upset.  It happens when they get frustrated that their argument has failed.  Lol

The study reported that the highest rates of incarceration “are concentrated in urban centers and certain rural areas, like American Indian reservations,” whereas in other, more prosperous neighborhoods the crime rate is “essentially zero.”

Clearly income is the most important factor in crime

Indeed, according to the study, boys who grew up in families within the bottom 10 percent of income distribution were 20 times more likely to be incarcerated by their early 30s than those who lived in families with the highest income level.

Clearly income is the most important factor in crime

Research.  A peer reviewed study.  Lol

The Brookings’ data showed that, “In almost all states, between 40 and 50 percent of the prison population grew up in families in the bottom quintile [20 percent] of the income distribution.”

The Brookings Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based research group, has published a study that demonstrates, through empirical data, what many have long suspected: That extreme poverty leads to increased crime rates. 

Perhaps a psychiatrist could help you.  Lol

Oh look another opinion

And look.....it is dismissed

I posted actual evidence....not unsupported claims like you.   Lol

And you offered a single opinion of a single man

No research

No evidence 

Your claim is dismissed 

Good.  Then Sowells opinion is noted and dismissed.  I have already posted evidence of poverty being the biggest determinant if crime.

Unless you were a forensic researcher on crime and culture your personal experience is anecdotal

He is certainly entitled to an opinion. 

To say he us the final word on the subject is laughable 

You make my point.  Wealthy individuals don't need to commit crimes.   Poor people do

It's poverty

Sowell is entitled to his opinion but it's all he has

If black culture was the problem rich black kids would do more crimes

They don't 

Sorry

Then prove it

Show me the level of crime in rich black families

The debt causes us no problems 

They will let that bill die and simply raise the debt ceiling 

Substitute poor people in your post and you get the same answers

The problem is poverty.....not black people 

How does one post a topic?

Yeah good luck with that.  Lol

The bill will not pass the senate and the gop will cave and raise the debt limit

I just wish they would be honest about the REAL solution they prefer

There is a reason a person chooses race out of all the possible characteristics associated with crime

I would need to see proof for that claim

Income is likely the highest predictor
