Hillary's Campaign Totally Ignores Poverty, Edwards' Signature Issue. Obama has VERY detailed plans

Now maybe I missed it on Hillary's Issues section on her campaign's webpage. That is where candidates put their detailed policy proposals so prospective voters can contrast and compare. You can say this and that in a speech. But show us your policy proposal in writing :)

Anyway, all I could find on Hillary's Issues page was vague, fuzzy mention of what she'll do to help the Middle Class. And there wasn't much detail there, anyway.

Poverty is an Issue unto itself and must be addressed as such. It needs a comprehensive, holistic approach.

It's very different to talk about getting jobs for an educated middle class person than for someone who has little education or experience keeping a job.
It's very different to talk about housing for middle class workers who have credit and poor who have no equity.

I could not find specific, detailed policy proposals for how she will alleviate Poverty.

It could be very well that I totally missed that section on her Issues page. If so, I apologise in advance.

However, many DU'ers are claiming Hillary reflects Edwards' vision. However, it seems odd anyone would say that when she doesn't have a section devoted to Poverty.

And I'm not talking about a press release. I mean detailed policy proposals.

Obama has a VERY detailed section on his issues page devoted to Poverty.

Again, please forgive me if I have missed Hillary's section on this issue. Just provide me with a link so we can compare the two candidates proposals.

Thanks! :)
