Edwards would spend a $Trillion if elected?

Spend money to make money?

"Presidential candidate John Edwards is offering more policy proposals than any other candidate in the primary and his ideas are winning loud applause from Democratic audiences. All told, Edwards' proposals would equal more than $1 trillion if he could get them enacted into law and operational during two White House terms."

John Edwards got rich to learn about poverty?

Too much of a slickster?

John Edwards worked for a hedge fund to learn about how financial markets affect poverty, and made good money doing it - money he kept and didn't donate to fight poverty.

"Edwards said it's fair to ask questions about whether there is a contradiction between campaigning against poverty while working for a hedge fund designed to make rich people richer. But he said the job was a complement to his position as the head of a poverty center at the University of North Carolina, something he said he didn't describe adequately when asked about the hedge fund during the first Democratic debate last month."

Can millionaires ever really understand poverty, especially if they've never been poor?
