Why can't this country bring Appalachia up to actual living wages, proper infrastructure, better schools, better medical treatment, and better infrastructure? Why does the federal and state government allow fellow Americans to suffer in this country? This is such a simple problem to solve for our country, and if we do it here we can do it in every place in this country that is living in 3rd world standards.
