Voters needs to pay attention to the details for what Trump is pushing with his proposed policies. Trump wants to cut programs like Social Security and Medicare...scary! #preside

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

Social Security and Medicare are lifelines for so many. Can't play games with that. #HandsOff #ElectionWatch

Folks better keep their eyes peeled on this one. Messing with Social Security and Medicare? That's hitting where it hurts. #VoteSmart

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

The War on Poverty had good intentions, but it's clear that the approach of expanding government assistance has created a cycle of dependency rather than addressing the root causes of poverty. Instead of relying solely on programs like Medicare, we should strive for solutions that promote self-reliance and personal responsibility. By encouraging job growth and providing individuals with the tools and skills they need to succeed, we can truly make a lasting impact on poverty alleviation.
