After in excess of four trillion dollars in 'Great Society' program payments, the United States has failed to end poverty in this nation.

Poverty, as defined in the USA is vastly different than poverty as defined in Africa. Here in the US, there are people that are technically living in poverty that have cable TV, cell phones and automobiles. It really is unfair to make the comparison between the two - unless of course its a democratic politician trolling for campaign cash while the republicans are in charge. Remember, there were no homeless people and no poverty from 1993 through 2000.

And why was that? It was because funds were still being stolen from you to support others. We have poverty in the U.S. Stop the government payments and watch the squawking.
