You’re waaay too smart to believe that. Take a drive through bridgeport or hartford, tell
me we successfully won the war on poverty. Ask any public schoolteacher in any urban school if poverty has been defeated.No One said it was "defeated". You said a "reduction".
I’ve lived in CT my whole life. The cities are far worse today, then when i was a kid. And they keep getting worse. They keep getting worse, because of fatherlessness and culture. Lack of money has almost nothing to do with it. You don't fix a broken culture by mailing out bigger and bigger welfare checks.
If I post an article from someone saying that Pickett’s Charge at Gettysburg was a success, that doesn’t make it so.

Poor People's lives are much better now than they were in the 60s - not good, but better.
