Cabinet Level Position to Fight Global Poverty

There was something interesting in John Edward's email newsletter today. He finally discussed global poverty (he's been talking about and working on U.S. poverty issues for three years but has rarely mentioned the issue outside the scope of the U.S.) and the effect it has on U.S. national security. While I don't think working to reduce poverty should be about 'national security' but rather about being 'human' I do appreciate him adding this element to his platform...

"So yesterday I outlined my plan to tackle global poverty head on. We will launch a worldwide effort to bring primary education to every corner of the globe. We will invest in preventive health care through clean water and sanitation systems to give poor families a chance at healthy lives. We will provide the tools of local entrepreneurship and active citizenry that are the cornerstones of stable prosperity. And we will create a cabinet level position in the White House to elevate all our national efforts at eradicating poverty worldwide.

These plans may sound very big—and that's because they are. But we are a country built on our commitment to the biggest of ideas. We have never turned our back on progress, no matter how daunting. And we're not about to start."

Props for thinking about these issues.
