“There was hope in liberal circles in 1965 that federal welfare programs would reduce poverty rates. This hope is long gone. Today, the likelihood of a reversal is gone. The social breakdown of the black family in 1965 has spread to the lower-class white community. It is much larger than the black community.  Federal money and bureaucracy cannot reverse attitudes toward the family — attitudes that the welfare system has subsidized.  There is only one hope that the federal government could offer: an end to the programs. But Congress does not cut programs. It adds to them.  The war on poverty is a forever war . . . at least until federal bankruptcy ends it.”
