Why are the liberals never called to account for the failures of the war on poverty?

We have spent many trillions of dollars on various anti-poverty programs in the past 40+ years. And the results are questionable at best. And at worst, we have evidence that all the gov’t programs didn’t do anything to lift people out of poverty, revive the inner cities, improve schools, and all the rest of the wonderful goals of the war on poverty.

More good points!

But now that something for nothing has been given away for decades, it will require a stout heart to reduce those entitlements.

I used to work in a northeastern legislature, and once anyone made a move to bring spending into line, wow, did those phones ring!
