This is Semantics 101
You are conflating assuming I am saying "Poverty is not a big deal", "Poverty didn't exist before the Government came along" or that "Poverty was 100% completely eradicated by 1960" when I did not say that in my original post

You are also conflating that the New Deal and GI Bill incentives were the same thing as the Anti-Poverty Lyndon B Johnson programs in the 1960s
The New Deal was centered around fixing up infrastructure issues which revolved around fixing city plumbing systems, telecommunication/electrical power systems, highways/roads, etc to rural, small towns, and underdeveloped cities which in turn brought them out of poverty. On top of GI Bill with Home Loan Grants and Educational programs

To compare what the New Deal was to the era in the 1960s where they were literally just throwing money at people with no plan is downright laughable
What? No it's not. You're trying to have it both ways by trying to discredit anti-poverty programs as harmful while distancing yourself from the obvious implication that they caused poverty to worsen. That's not me engaging in semantics games, it's you dodging the consequences of your own argument. I'm engaging with the cause-and-effect logic you laid out, not inventing claims you didn't make.

You're also acting like the New Deal was some isolated, virtuous anomaly while the Great Society was just a reckless money dump. But in reality, those programs expanded on the same model you're praising. The only difference were the methods, and those were different, because the problems had evolved. You don't build highways to address medical bankruptcy or racial housing discrimination. The Great Society, in theory, responded to urban and racial inequality, and that's the real reason some people suddenly think "government help" is a bad thing. Not saying you, but just saying.

And stop with the lazy "throwing money at people" shyt. These programs funded healthcare (Medicaid), education (Head Start), nutrition (food stamps), and job training (Job Corps). These were concrete, targeted support systems that had measurable impact. If that's not a plan, then what is? Every serious study shows they helped reduce poverty too, especially for kids and older folks.

You’re defending a program for the program’s sake.

Anti-poverty measures are different from homelessness initiatives.

This is corruption of the highest order and and a betrayal of trust. Using funds that should help those in greatest need and using it to enrich themselves. There needs to be a formal audit with a forensic accountant and all most handling of funds needs to be paid back on top of additional penalties.

Exactly, Thank you
:laff:
Government creating Welfare, Section 8, and other "End Poverty" programs being the #1 reason American Citizens are in Poverty is not talked about enough


You introduced that to this thread with your dumb conspiracy. Now you're running way. Should have expected this from a guy who thinks the Trans-Atlantic slave trade was a myth.

Been saying for years that these nonprofits are scams. The same thing happened in SF. CA spent $20 billion on homelessness and the problem got worse. These people get paid to 'solve' an issue. Therefore, there is no incentive to fix it, only to perpetuate it.

They should be paid a stipend by home built and/or person housed.

It’s the emotional hostage taking they do with this stuff.

I noticed during the Warnock town hall that about half of the audience questions came from people who were scared Trump cut off their NGO funding…which makes you ask…how dependent were you on these programs and how effective were you? :francis:

This is the stuff DOGE is supposed to be cutting. The issue is lack of transparency and blatant political targeting.

Those like the woman in OP are justifying DOGEs existence.
