It was called The War on Poverty. With massive social programs and quotas for employment. The same poverty numbers exist. Only many even if not living in the most idea habitat, have a lot of comforts along with many who have less. The real problems must be attacked. But we have people accusing others to much while not looking within. Tell me where any Progs in the media and entertainment and political and business ways push teenage girls to stop having babies. And of course, abortions are the option if babies are not wanted. Cities became like junkies needing their fix and it has not stopped. Anyone employed to service it in any way including police and fire became expensive dealers with the cost to the taxpayer and consumers. And it is costly.Nobody was under the delusion poverty would be eliminated entirely. So pat yourself on the back for being too stupid to understand yet another simple idea.
