When he promised a "great society," he implicitly criticized the one we had. It had its faults; segregation was still dying. But historically the Great Government - leftists never mean anything but government when they say "society" - agenda is clearly a great disaster.

What was great about the Johnson Administration? Its hubris. It was loaded with it.
