Janie: You can keep on waiting. If Increased resources = decreased poverty then eventually there will be no need for these resources, correct? You said correctly that Prevention is an action taken to avoid the occurrence of a problem. Mitigation will almost always be a necessary part of any successful effort to remedy a problem. But you do not state how mitigation prevents the occurence of poverty. Prevention is something that occurs in the absence of a problem.???????? Prevention eliminates the problem before it exists. Prevention does not occur.Prevention is proactive. Mitigation is reactive. And I do not agree that scholarships are mitigation. Handing out a hot meal or food stamps is a good thing to do but the hunger re occurs. Hand out a scholarship and the need does not re occur.
