[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 1408569, member: 12952"] [URL='http://dailysignal.com/2014/09/16/war-poverty-colossal-flop/']War on Poverty[/URL] Since its beginning, U.S. taxpayers have spent $22 trillion on Johnson’s War on Poverty (in constant 2012 dollars). Adjusting for inflation, that’s three times more than was spent on all military wars since the American Revolution. Over 100 million people, about one third of the U.S. population, received aid from at least one welfare program at an average cost of $9,000 per recipient in 2013. If converted into cash, current means-tested spending is five times the amount needed to eliminate all poverty in the U.S. The present poverty rate is almost exactly the same as it was in 1967 a few years after the War on Poverty started.
