Just for reference on the "failure" of the War on Poverty: If you look at the
stats for the percentage (and absolute number) of poor people in America, it
starts out the 1960s at a surprisingly high level. Beginning in 1965, when
the
War on Poverty began, the numbers and percentage go way down, to less than
half
what they were beforehand -- and this in a time when "poverty" was being more
generously defined in order to include as many people as possible in the
program

So this means that the government giving people money makes them not poor
anymore? Please explain this some.
