Yes you have no point evidenced by you keep repeating the same thing over and over.
Yes it has succeeded, yes it has helped...lowering the poverty rate has shit to do with if it helped or not. Because you say so is not a good defense
Lowering the rate has nothing to do with whether it worked or not? That's one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever heard. But you're forced to make it because you don't have a defense of the welfare system, Closed.
What have we gotten in our war on poverty?
Paved Roads
Water and sewer systems in rural areas
Hospitals in rural areas
Access to medical care
Access to higher education
Jobs programs
A social safety net
It has made us a better country
The black vote for the next 200 years.What were we supposed to "get"?
Funny you think all these programs only apply to blacks. No other minorities seem to catch your eye...not because you're racist or anything

Can't argue that rightwinger. You are 100% correct. The progress you cite here is all well and good and i support every bit of it. But I'm not willing to borrow money to provide cell phones for everyone, and a lot of other stuff like that. I'm also not willing to keep borrowing money to provide goodies for the wealthiest Americans either, or to fund a war we should have never entered into.
Lotta waste, lotta excess and a lotta debt.

They were created to buy the black vote. And it's worked.
Who said "I'll have those ******* voting Democrat for the next 200 years"? Here's a hint, it wasn't me.

How do you link paved roads, education, water, sewer and hospitals to welfare programs?

Actually LBJ said so.

You didn't answer the question, that much is obvious.

The welfare system has given us paved roads, water and sewer systems, hospitals, access to medical care and higher education? How do you figure? Citizens generally pay for things like that with property taxes. Things like the national highway system were paid for by taxes on gasoline.
It has given us jobs programs and a social safety net. But since the number of people in poverty essentially hasn't changed since 1966 when Lyndon Johnson unveiled his "war on poverty" it's quite hard to portray either as a success at ridding the country of poverty.

Do you understand what poverty is?
Rightwing kneejerk says poverty=welfare
Welfare is a safety net and all modern societies provide one. The war on poverty was fought not just with welfare but with programs to enable people to escape poverty.

Once again, the rightwing demonstrates its inability to understand how a War on Poverty can be more than just a welfare check.
LBJ grew up in extreme poverty. That meant no electricity, no paved roads, no indoor plumbing. It wasn't just a welfare check to the poor but reaching out to poor communities and ensuring that they had adequate public service.
This meant government getting involved to pave roads, build decent schools, hospitals, electric power, sanitation services. Children from poor communities now have more access to a good meal, health services, public education and advanced education
[Of course LBJ grew up without electricity and in door plumbing as did most Americans in that era. Hell I was damn near a teenager in the 60's when my grandmother finally got indoor plumbing.
