“The US Census Bureau ‘estimates that our current welfare spending totals four times what would be necessary just to give all the poor the cash to bring them up to the poverty line, eliminating all poverty in America.’ Yes—we spend four times the necessary amount to bring all of the poor in America up to the poverty line.  Clearly we are doing something wrong.  The war on poverty began back in 1965 under LBJ. Since then, our federal and state governments have spent more than twice the cost of all the American conflicts since the American Revolution.  Perhaps it is time to reconsider simpler approaches to fighting poverty.”
