There is so much room to start
Let's see,,,,,
-We spend about 13 times the amount today on welfare then in the 1960's
-Papa Obama increased Federal Spending on anti-poverty programs 41% (668 billion)
combined with state/local expenditures to 284 billion
Why that is more than even defense spending
-Under Papa Obama, government will spend more on welfare in a single year than Bush spent on the war in Iraq during his entire presidency. Congressional Research Service, the cost of the Iraq war through the end of the Bush was around $622 billion. By contrast, annual federal and state means-tested welfare spending will reach $888 billion in FY 2010. Federal welfare spending alone will equal $697 billion in that year.

Sure, No room to cut anything....
Is is sad how soon the Left wanted to "throw in the towel" on the Iraq war
after a few years and call it a failure
yet
Almost 50 years on the Great Society's "war on poverty" has failed
but they still won't "throw in the towel"
It almost seems like the Left and the Democrats have a vested interest
in keeping the status quo
funny how that works
Once again no answer.
Your claim is that cutting poverty programs will reduce poverty. Now make some semblance of a case for it.
Again
in your opinion but since you think
Papa Obama is doing a good job
it means little
Unlike you. I'm just stating facts like
that before the Great Society
Blacks had a lower divorce rate and lower illegitimate rate than whites
Truth is hard for the Left
In fact, it is their worst enemy
When its illegal to get a divorce its going to be hard to get a divorce
