Dr. Walter Williams has been writing and talking about the failure of the so-called "War on Poverty" political agenda for decades.

Problem is that "the People" succumb to the propaganda doled out by the politicians instead of rejecting the notion for what it is--an enslaving idea which buys votes, wastes the fruits of the labors of hard-working individuals, and creates dependency among those who are its victims.

Any comparison of what has been spent on the “War on Poverty”, and the current level of national debt, shows that both the expenditures on the “War on Poverty” has moved in pretty close lockstep with the growth of the national debt.

With no visible effect whatsoever on the ratio of persons on poverty to the general population from 1965 to the start of the Current Regime.
