“the war on poverty is over and a success.”
without SNAP and refundable tax credits, the poverty rate would have been 3.7 percentage points higher than it was in 2016. Expansions of the EITC and SNAP have alleviated poverty in ways the SPM reflects and the official poverty measure misses.....
if solving poverty is measured by the making people more and more reliant on government handouts and services in order to escape poverty and less reliant on themselves....
then I guess you could consider the left's war on poverty a success....great job!
