“PERMANENT POOR” Are you thinking of those people who have been on welfare since FDRs welfare programs in the 1930s, which were expended in 1965 by LBJ? Then I agree. A program some 4 or 5 years ago showed a family in one of the southern states.
It showed a family sitting on the elevated porch of their unpainted house, in early1965, living on FDRs welfare program. The same family with grandparents, parents, children and grandbabies sitting on the same elevated porch of the same unpainted house, upgraded their
welfare. Nothing changed except they were receiving MORE welfare through LBJ’s 1965 welfare programs.
Exactly. I’m in Tacoma (howdy, tillacum), and on the East Side, there are welfare cases who sit on their butts across multiple generations and complain about “The Man” holding them down.
LBJ is still holding them down, as planned.
