If you're interested in the election, check out the O' Reilly Factor on Fox at 8 tonight, Tuesday, and Wednesday for continuing coverage of his interview with Barack Obama. This is Obama's first actual challenge in ideology, so it should definitely be worth viewing.

Potential problems of an impoverished town
1. Housing available attracts $ (see HGTV)
2. Jobs available attracts workers and a tax base
3. Industry leaving for other places kills jobs
4. Desperation causes crime
5. Schools that no longer educate or enforce standards of learning
6. Lack of discipline enforced in youth to rise up
7. People get complacent on the entitlement system (when McD’s doesn’t pay as much as handouts and it isn’t as grueling as the work, why work)?
8. “If a neighborhood isn’t nice, why work to make it better (why clean trash when someone else will just litter it up)?”
9. “It’s easier to move out than to change a losing situation.”
10. Inflation keeps people stuck in dead end situations.
11. People use credit as a temporary solution and get strangled for long periods of time (potentially forever and ever)
12. Fear of failure.
13. Fear of success.
14. In a Brave New World sense, some people will know their place and demonize the mainstream society’s version of success and choose to not succeed.
15. Single parent households not being able to make enough to pay daycare and to support a family.
16. Language difficulties
17. Political infighting on solutions in government cause inaction, which is much worse than failed actions.
18. Fear of PC special interest groups and getting caught up in legislation.
19. Environmental and pollution issues.
20. Racial conflicts between emerging and defined groups in an area.
You need 3 - your group needs to fill out the Dresser Drawer Method (1 per group) and turn in your brainstorming (1 for each person in the group).
