“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.”
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.
“The GOP sure didnt come up with LBJ’s Great Society idiocy.”
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.
Nor the habits that keep them less than well. So much of what is called lack of access to healthcare is in fact failure to use care that is available.
