Poverty Won The War

The war on poverty is very interesting issue. Since a war on poverty was declared thing seem to only have gotten worse. The liberals have been running on this agenda, spread the wealth, entitlements, and federal spending for 5 decades, and we have never been worse off than we are now. Despite all that the poor are in worse condition then when the war on poverty started.

Here is a statistic from the Government. In the 60s when the war was declared, 13% of the population was in poverty. Since then we have increased spending on help for the poor and government programs by 400% to fight poverty. This has taken a toll on our budget which is in the tank. Interestingly enough when a report came out for 'now' the percent of the population still in poverty, is 13%. Decades after the debt is racked up, all the government programs have expanded and increased, taxes have gone up, more spending, and it hasn't done one damn thing.

In fact the best part, is when the economy did it's best in that time frame, was under the Reagan administration.

Poverty Won The War. Oh and drugs kicked our butt years ago.
