Poverty is a Weapon of Mass Destruction

[daredtowork]

5. I've been looking at this and

it seems to me that a lot of the programs were successful and kept - but moved under other departments so it would look like the "War on Poverty" failed.

Obama actually chopped one of the last and most important aspects of the War on Poverty in half in 2011: the Community Service Block Grants. That provided a work-around for all the layers of politics and vested-interests to fund community agencies that would bundle together all the various services and programs and directly help people in need.

The question is always "how do we monitor?" or "how do we measure?" Well they should find ways to monitor and measure to satisfy themselves rather than taking the funding away!!! SHAME ON EVERYONE INVOLVED!!!
