Welcome to Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty.

The Nominal Goal: Reduce Poverty in the U.S.
The Actual Goal: Create a permanent underclass, mostly African American, who will vote overwhelmingly for Democrat candidates at every level.

Let's score those goals:

Nominal Goal: 0% successful
Actual Goal: 100% successful

If Lyndon Johnson's 'War on Poverty' had offered just a few hundred dollars MORE a month, Democrats could have totally destroyed white families too. Perverse incentives work regardless of race... luckily for white young women in the 60's the bribe to horror wasn't quite high enough.
