I want to end with this:

Every person I spoke with in @RepCummings district was deeply kind to my crew & me.

Wonderful, beautiful people.

Here is what they all had in common: They feel abandoned by their politicians.

With a district like this - can you really blame them? pic.twitter.com/aLexSb8zQo— Benny (@bennyjohnson) July 29, 2019

LBJ’s and the Democrats’ War on Poverty has destroyed every city, which were sold into the WOP by the democrat leaders in every city.

This War on Poverty was a new form of economic Slavery of black Americans living in the big cities, by the democrats.

The politicians in control of these cities have gotten rich while their cities became rat infested $hitholes with increased poverty for the citizens in these cities.

The War on Poverty Wasn’t A Failure — It Was A Catastrophe

I apply unconventional logic to economic issues.

Has the War on Poverty been a failure? Well, of course it has. If you devote 50 years and $21.5 trillion (in 4Q2013 dollars) to anything, and people are arguing about whether it was a success or a failure, then you can be sure that it was a failure.

Have you noticed that, 50+ years from its inception, no one is suggesting that the Apollo program was a failure? The Apollo program was an unchallenged success because it accomplished its stated goal: “…to land a man on the moon, and to return him safely to the earth.”

The stated goal of the War on Poverty, as enunciated by Lyndon Johnson on January 8, 1964, was, “…not only to relieve the symptom of poverty, but to cure it and, above all, to prevent it.” Measured against this objective, the War on Poverty has not just been a failure, it has been a catastrophe. It was supposed to help America’s poor become self-sufficient, and it has made them dependent and dysfunctional.

Now, the faithful inner city voters for Democrat mayors, governors and congre$$its for decades are being abandoned as the illegals are now the #1 priority to the Democrats!

Has the War on Poverty been a failure? Well, of course it has.

That really depends on one's perspective. To the democrats it was a great success as it locked in a large voting block.

Has the War on Poverty been a failure? Well, of course it has. If you devote 50 years and $21.5 trillion (in 4Q2013 dollars) to anything, and people are arguing about whether it was a success or a failure, then you can be sure that it was a failure.

What cheeses me off is that $21.5 trillion is closely equivalent to our national debt right now.
