re: #174 engineer cat

he War on Poverty, which President Lyndon Johnson declared nearly 50 years ago, has “failed miserably,” House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan said Thursday — and he wants to figure out what approaches would work to get Americans out of poverty.

Ryan is lying.

I repeat, Ryan is LYING.

The Great Society’s War on Poverty was having great success, bringing more and more people out of poverty…..UNTIL the Reagan administration started dismantling anti poverty programs.

OF COURSE the programs won’t work if you dismantle them.
