Detroit, the 'most liberal city in America' is proof of LBJ's minion socialist thinking.
This is the legacy of LBJ's Great Society.....compassion as defined by Liberalism.

Pure liberalism and socialism. That is how LBJ wanted to buy votes -- the Great Society -- a tragic joke. Just look at Detroit, as the example above states. A very UGLY RESULT.
WELL PUT
To find the money for his "guns and butter" programs, Johnson consolidated the federal government's operating budget and the Social Security budget.
As he himself put it, "Mah frens, we've got one pot of money oveh heah...and we're spendin' more than we're takin' in. Thass what we call it a daffacit.
"But oveh heah, we've got anothuh pot of money...and there's more goin' in than is goin' out. Thass what we call a surplus.
"And if we just put the two of 'em togethah, thar'd be as much comin' in as was goin' out. Thass what we call a balanced budget."
Thus was the vault opened up to Congressional raids and Social Security doomed...
Look at the modern New Orleans as well.

Sigh, Detroit is the New Orleans of the North.
So, I voted for Goldwater....
Later on we knew that his favorite song was I love a Parade.
This guy did more damage to the fabric of the US than can ever be imagined.
We should never forget the ultra-lib McNamara advertising an airstrike which was outright treason with a loss of an almost entire squadron.
I drove through Johnson City, Texas a couple of years ago, and almost got nauseous.
Precisely.
I couldn't agree with this article more. LBJ did more harm to this nation than most people realize! And now, we are seeing the fruits of his labor?
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
Through the CETA program, I got the necessary tools to go to work as a mechanic on the Alaskan pipein. By fronting me the tuition for a semester of trade school, and the cost of some tools, the great society got a working stiff pulling in 2 grand a week and paying beaucoup payroll taxes. So all not bad...
Medicare is bankrupt already. The general budget is covering the deficit.
AFSC was the worst governmental action of the last 50 years (after Roe).
