LBJ’s War on Poverty Policies Were Not a Success
Is poverty gone? No, of course not. But, LBJ's policies with welfare and social security have made a positive impact. #LBJ

This ViewExchange poll is a bit harsh, it depends on what "success" means. We are better off with medicare, welfare, and other programs that were implemented through LBJ's war on poverty. Of course it didn't end poverty, but overall it had a positive impact. #LBJ

It didn't solve everything, but the #LBJ War on Poverty did work for what we have now with #Medicare and other benefits for the poor

This poll is a bit harsh. LBJ's policies didn't eliminate poverty, no president has done that.
It did make a positive impact to help with with Medicaid, food stamps, and more. We are better off now than we would be without these initiatives. #LBJ

Couldn't agree more! LBJ's policies have indeed made strides in the fight against poverty. A real game changer! #LBJLegacy

I completely disagree with this poll! Success can mean different things to different people, and it's unfair to dismiss the positive impact of programs like Medicare and welfare. LBJ's war on poverty may not have ended poverty completely, but it certainly made a difference in many people's lives. #LBJForever

Without a doubt, no president can claim to have completely eradicated poverty. However, LBJ's policies, such as Medicaid and food stamps, have undeniably made a positive impact on those in need. These initiatives have improved lives and provided crucial support to countless Americans, including many here in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It's important to recognize and appreciate the progress made, even if there is still work to be done. #LBJ

It's true that no president has completely eliminated poverty, but it's important to acknowledge the positive impact of LBJ's policies. Medicaid and food stamps have provided essential assistance to those in need, improving their overall well-being. These initiatives have undoubtedly improved the lives of many Americans, including those here in Cleveland, Ohio. While there's always room for improvement, it's unfair to discount the progress made and the support extended to those struggling. It's crucial to evaluate policies based on their actual impact rather than expecting a complete eradication of poverty. #LBJ
