The GOP is looking for ways to combat poverty in America and unveiled their plan to level the playing field for many impoverished Americans.

The Republican plan, titled "A Better Way To Fight Poverty" looks to
expand work requirements, give states and local jurisdictions a
greater role, measure the results of federal programs for the poor and
crack down on waste, fraud and abuse.

NewsOne Now panelist Dru Ealons said, “The devil is in the details” as
it relates to the inner-workings of the plan.

Do you think the GOP is serious about helping the impoverished or is
it more of the same packaged in a new way?
