Both are on the rise and alarming (but not surprising) rates.
Besides cutting welfare and lowering taxes for the wealthiest, is there a plan for addressing these societal blights or have I just missed it? I haven't heard about it in the debates, strangely.
Anyone know the deal?

No cure for this problem. The only thing I can think of for this is for the government to fund drug treatment centers and give grants to homeless shelters and soup kitchens. The problem now is the government has NO MONEY

Well considering that the government is directly responsible for driving up poverty and driving down the ranks of the middle class, I would say that the best real fiscal conservatives can do is to get government off of the backs of small business, massively reduce big government / big business cronyism and gut our tax system for a complete makeover.
Economic leftists operate on the principle that government can fix poverty. I honestly do not understand how they can even begin to claim such given the massively overwhelming evidence that government does in fact, just the opposite. Where I may agree with economic leftists is on the status of corporations. I do not consider corporations to be people and I do not consider corps to have a 1st amendment right (note; there may need to be specific exceptions to that)
The more division there is between corporate entities and government, the better. Corporations should be able to sue government and make their case, but not to the grossly overwhelming extent that they can now.

Neither side has a plan to help. R's want to abandon them, D's want to create more of them.
Have to turn to the Libertarians, Constitutionalists, etc if you want actual solutions.

I believe it was Ford that wanted to pay his employees enough money to buy the product they made. That plan was the spark that created the American middle class, the most powerful nation in the world and unimaginable wealth.
To say that fixing/curing poverty has no financial gain is the height of ignorance or greed.

The solution is to stop doing whatever the libtards say. Everything they do just makes things worse.
We could probably cut both problems by 50% within a year by not doing what the libtards want.

You really can't make people independent that would rather have their lives paid for by the tax payers.
15% of the US's population is currently considered poor,1.7% get 50% or more of their income from welfare....The problems you see really don't exist. You are a victim of the right wing media.

You seem to have a less than stellar grasp of history. Libertarians have never been in power. They have never been in power because most people believe in the idea that might makes right where libertarianism is based on the principle of non aggression.

Thanks for providing that incredibly detailed list of libertarian solutions to poverty. Excellent rebuttal.
And the Constitution really has very little to do with the Constitution party.

Most importantly create more jobs.
Provide housing and education and health services as a way to give a leg up.

The leading cause of being poor is being born to poor parents.
The libtard solution is to pay poor people to have children.
Do you see the flaw in this plan?
