The War on Poverty, that is.
Former President Johnson said, in the sixties, that his initiative was going to
ELIMINATE poverty. It didn’t. According to Census figures, just about as many
people are in poverty today as were when Johnson’s “war” started. Which means
we spent a lot more money than necessary, with NO discernable results. As in
the “War Against Drugs,” where the number of people abusing drugs today numbers MORE
than when THAT “war” started, presidents are known for making promises they
cannot deliver, but these are two of the most obvious to those who pay
attention. Obama has promised many things he couldn’t deliver, like raising (or
lowering, I can’t keep track) the sea level. But that is a malady common to
presidents, mostly Democrats. (The Daily Caller)
