The average household in "poverty" in America has air conditioning, tv with cable, and even a freaking game console.
And yet the Right says that the "War on Poverty" has failed!
True, the "War on "Poverty" has failed, massively.
The 1996 Welfare Reform Act was highly successful. Until 2009 when Lame Duck Barack Hussein Obama forced through his Stimulus bill which gutted the successful Reform Act.
Obama gutted nothing. Just more Right-wing lies.
You need to do a bit more research before answering. The Welfare Reform Act of 1996 was gutted.
Your denial...and ignorance is duly noted. Many thanks!
Obama kills welfare reform

Determined to destroy
Bill Clinton’s signature achievement, President Obama’s administration has opened a loophole in the 1996 welfare reform legislation big enough to make the law ineffective. Its work requirement — the central feature of the legislation — has been diluted beyond recognition by the bureaucrats at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
On Thursday of last week, HHS issued regulations that modified — gutted — the work requirement. Its new regulations allow the states to substitute education programs for work to get welfare benefits. The regs say that “vocational educational training or job search/readiness programs” “count as well” in meeting the basic condition that recipients work in order to receive welfare benefits.

Toe-sucker Dickless MoreAss, you can't be serious!
The poor ignorant con troll brings up a source called Dick Morris. Morris has a reputation a mile and a half long as a con nut case. Total dipshit. Never saw a con talking point he did not like. Spends all his time on Fox and the bat shit crazy con web sites.
Here is some info from Sourcewatch about Morris, the sex criminal:
"Dick Morris, now a
Republican, was political consultant for 20 years to
DemocraticPresident
Bill Clinton. Morris, who resigned his position in 1996 due to allegations that he had engaged the services of a prostitute, was again the subject of similar circumstances in April 2007.
On August 29, 1996, Morris announced his
resignation "hours before President Clinton delivered his acceptance speech at the
Democratic National Convention after
The New York Post and the
Star[2], "a supermarket tabloid, published allegations" by "suddenly famous Virginia call girl" Sherry Rowland, a $200-an-hour prostitute, who said "that she had a long-running relationship with Morris." Rowland said that "Republicans had nothing to do with it."
"As for Morris's downfall, Rowlands said: 'Someone as intelligent as he is should have kept his lip buttoned when he unzipped his pants. I mean, how can you maneuver worlds, and he can't even control what he's doing in his own room with a paid lady?'" At the time, Morris "declined to address the allegations".

In April 2007, Deborah Jeane Palfrey, known as the D.C. Madam, named
Randall L. Tobias, "the top foreign aid adviser in the State Department", who "became the most prominent person on the list to be publicly identified when he resigned after acknowledging to ABC News that he was among Ms. Palfrey’s clients," Eric Lipton
reported April 27, 2007, in the
New York Times.
Palfrey "included in a court filing and posted on her Web site the man's photo and tax records. Dick Morris, the television commentator and former adviser to President Bill Clinton, who resigned in 1996 after reports that he was seeing a prostitute, was also a customer, Ms. Palfrey’s lawyer has said in court. Mr. Morris has denied the accusation," Lipton wrote.
Additionally, on April 27, 2007, Palfrey's attorney, Montgomery Blair Sibley, said that he "filed notice that he intends to depose political consultant Dick Morris in a separate civil proceeding. Morris would not comment.""
