That is hilarious. I showed you the data then you simply repeated your disproven assertion as though that were some kind of rebuttal.Actually poverty has never decreased since the war on poverty and $22 trillion. Which means, it's a failure.
hilarious.
You're wrong, my friend.
[i
You are comparing apples to oranges when you look at the percentage of people considered poor under an official poverty line that is regularly increased above inflation. Then you compare that to an inflation adjusted cost for welfare spending that includes every new program the government spends money on, a great portion of which was not started under the Great Society programs and were escalated by Nixon more than any Democrat.
And when the War on Poverty began, the poverty rate was closer to 20% and has been steady around 15%since about 1970..
Things have improved even with your own chart.
Like I said, the war on poverty failed.
What's the definition of insanity?
