"But try as they might, they could not make a dent on poverty"

It was cut in half. That is quite a dent.

Z, > Who said we were ever going to even it?

I don't have a convenient quote that I can Google and link to, but if you look at liberal social programs up until the 90's, they were all focused on helping the poor get out of their situation. But try as they might, they could not make a dent on poverty because most of the conditions that lead to poverty are well beyond government control.


What liberal social programs.......we had nearly non stop GOP presidents during the 70s and 80s?
