The war on poverty has no exit strategy. They keep throwing more money at expanded programs to get more people sucked in to dependency.
The only way to stop this is to defund the federal government so it has no welfare money to pass out. And in the process, cut federal jobs that administer the welfare.
I have no problem with helping the truly needy. But poor people today have cars, cell phones, color tv and cable. Plus they eat very well. These are not poor people.
These people are mooches using class warfare as an excuse to break down society.
Poverty is a relative term. You cannot wage war on what cannot be defined except arbitrarily which means it’s meaningless anyway. America has the wealthiest poor in the world. Everything is relative. American poor have the highest standard of living among the poor in the world. All the term poverty is as a tool to evoke class envy as it has throughout history. To play one group against another. Poverty is also a parallel culture and mindset that shackles one group in their position relative to other groups. The problem is that the poor in this country have no clue how well they have it. Socialism is a farce because it has no definitions. It’s all about concepts to which there are no solutions. Poverty, justice, fairness. At what level do we ameliorate any of these things? Who defines these terms?
Its doable.
Simply create all new depts. of govt. instead of trying to imporve the old ones which would never happen.
don't fund the old dept.s and create all new ones with leadership that are not govt. career people.
Done correctly the federal budget could be balanced or have a surplus almost immediately.
