To rectify this, systemic changes like universal healthcare, affordable childcare, and investments in infrastructure are needed to create an economy that works for everyone.

Crime Festers in Republican States While Their Troops Patrol Washington
The core issue here seems to be a perceived hypocrisy: Republican states, often grappling with significant crime rates, appear to be sending troops to Washington D.C. while seemingly neglecting the issues within their own borders.
