$22 Trillion later...
... Census will almost certainly proclaim that around 14 percent of Americans are still poor. The present poverty rate is almost exactly the same as it was in 1967 ....
As I said....the War On Poverty, Lost
It was not lost if the counterfactual is that things would be much worse without it.
I asked, would the poor in American have been better off since 1965 if there had never been Medicaid, which happens to be the cornerstone of the war on poverty programs.
Prove they'd have been better off for the last 50 years. Prove they'd be better off NOW if Medicaid was ended.
Prove all of that and you'll be on your way to proving the war on poverty has been a failure;
on the other hand, if you can't prove any of that, your assertion is a failure.
$22 trillion of money stripped from the taxpayers, with no resultant diminution in the original problem...
What sort of imbecile would deny that that is failure and/or corruption of the worst kind....?
Raise your paw.
You've never been able to articulate a plan that would have worked better.
How would you have assisted low income Americans who needed healthcare for the last 50 years and got it from Medicaid?
Did I get an answer to this? No?
Can anyone help PC? She's been rendered mute on a key element of her own topic.
As much as I enjoy that, I'd much rather hear the conservative rationale for the ending of Medicaid.
Stop begging.
Just like the 'war on poverty,' you've lost.
I have facts; you have lame insults.
You have placed yourself in the awkward position of having to support something you rail against as a failure. Maybe you should stick to perfecting your stay at home mom skills.
