There were poor before the federal government stepped in throwing money at the problem, and if the statistics are even remotely accurate they are even more numerous now.

Absolutely- and in every big city were tenements where thousands died. Children were taken from their immigrant parents and sent to the midwest farms to be indentured servants.

The government Rural Electrification Project and the TVA were a boon to the nation and turned us into an economic powerhouse.

Look, I’m no fan of bg govt- I hate it! That said, we also have to recognize that we need government.
