I lived in subsidized housing with my two children and obtained my degree with a government loan. I had no other 'way out'. I have reaped some of the benefits (I now own a home) and have job security. The benefits to my children are obvious. My son is a successful contractor and my daughter will soon be an architect.

Unless you give people hope, there is no way to break the cycle.

Some will benefit, some will not. Is that a reason to withold hope from those that wish for a better life?
