Letsee, what was going on then?
Well, single motherhood was getting a big boost. So the poor were getting poorer since the trend of the single-mother family was becoming permanent. At the other end of the spectrum, the wealthy male was increasingly no longer married to a stay-at-home wife but a woman with impressive earning power herself.
Who was to "blame" for these outcomes? The GOP sure didnt come up with LBJ's Great Society idiocy. And while it has gone along with a lot of feminist iniatives, I would not call it the prime mover behind them.
Of course it never occurs to the left to look in the mirror when seeking villains.

I agree. If we stopped lavishing massive amounts of cash to irresponsible people, then we wouldn’t have everything so top heavy. Things would be better distributed and we would have a thriving middle class. As for chips falling, it happens every so often. Everyone loses everything and then starts with nothing but their brains.

Nope. Any time the American government declares war on something other than foreigners, it fails. What makes the govenrment fail is its lack of practicality. The war on poverty does not make people change the habits that keep them poor.
