It sort of worked on the back end - put 1/4 of black males from the inner cities in prison - but even that extended the original source problem on the front end - the black family. Then money to subsidize the growth of low-income family dependencies taxed the economy instead of growing the economy to help it deliver more jobs, at every income level.
