the great society was going to end poverty. lyndon johnson declared war on poverty. it was about 12-15% then. he spent the entire social security account building projects, community centers, started welfare. he put the salvation army out of business. when welfare was religious in nature, the recipient were never encouraged to make it a lifestyle. the government bureaucracies created and the unions it feeds has consumed a large portion of the budget.yet poverty remains the same. the same % as when this 60 year unfunded liberal democrat war. zero results is the standard with government regulations.
