JFK started the homeless issue when he emptied the mental hospitals (1963 law) so that he could federalize the issue, he started the Vietnam war sending in more than 16,000 troops) which gave us the 60s as we know them, he gave us LBJ, unionized federal government, the Bay of Pigs, Ted Kennedy, the first Affirmative Action EO in 1961, fought to introduce Medicare.

The President’s Commission on the Status of Women endorsed workplace equality, child care facilities for working women, paid maternity leave, better Social Security benefits for widows, and equal pay for comparable work.

Thank you for that information. You have convinced me. Some of the “women’s rights” initiatives initially seemed like a positive to me, but then I realized that they resulted in a world in which two wage earners are required to support a family, which has all but destroyed the family unit throughout the country.

And the immigration policies you described have only watered down what was once the greatest culture the world has known. We have imported the Third World, and now we’re being swallowed by it.

I concur.

There are a lot of good points in post 40, that will be good for arguing about how sometimes people who might have good intentions would be bad in the long run, whether they meant it that way or not...

But some probably would.
