One-Third Of U.S. Children Live In Poverty

In a new paper released by the National Center for Children in Poverty (NCCP), a research center at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, researchers find that many children living in large cities in the U.S. are living in poverty.

    This despite TRILLIONS spent on the War On Poverty, which by most accounts has been a failure

    QUOTE: “Although President Johnson intended the War on Poverty to increase Americans’ capacity for self-support, exactly the opposite has occurred. The vast expansion of the welfare state has dramatically weakened the capacity for self-sufficiency among many Americans by eroding the work ethic and undermining family structure. ”

    QUOTE: ” Liberals claim that the War on Poverty has failed because we didn’t spend enough money. Their answer is just to spend more. But the facts show otherwise. —— By eroding marriage, the welfare state has made many Americans less capable of self-support than they were when the War on Poverty began.”

    @Jim That’s right blame the Democrats. But you and your party do nothing because the Republican do not care.

    Typical Jr Crappo Response. You don’t stop do you?

    Did Granelli say anything there blaming Democrats specifically? NO. But all Jr wants to do is find ways to attack someone. I swear, this guy seems like a stalker because that’s the only time he comes out of the woodwork, to attack someone.

    As far has is stupid, lame response; it’s the same old stuff, the Republicans are cutting school lunches, pushing granny off the cliff; yada; yada; yada. Waaaaaaa, waaaaaa, waaaaaa, cry baby crap trying to make themselves out to be victims.

    You know what JO Jr., we are sick of the crying and wasting money. Some $22 trillion dollars have been poured down the rat hole of the welfare pig trough.

    And, it hasn’t worked. The definition of insanity they say is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different response.

    Thus, Jr the JO is insane.

    The truth is that the welfare system enslaves people and makes them dependent. Republicans believe in empowering people to improve their job skills so that they can improve their future.

    Jr, go peddle your BS elsewhere. You contribute nothing worthwhile here. All you do is hate. Freaking sorry azzz that you are.
