    As someone who remembers the advent of the "Great Society" by that wonderful President Lydon Baines Johnson I remember pretty much the same type of hurry up and get it done goading from the White House to Congress. Johnson just didn't feel that he was earning his money unless he could sign one piece of society changing legislation into law every week. The pace at which these laws came down the pipe and right into law was making the country dizzy. In the end what did we have? Laws and social welfare programs that destroyed the black family but promised a hand up instead of a hand out. The truth was the hand out won out in the end as it was decided to pay women to have children rather then go to work and earn a decent living. The result was squalid living conditions in the slums and tenements of the inner cities. Billions of dollars spent on education did what? The schools are just as poor, the graduation rates even lower now then they were in the mid-sixties. Food stamps we said to be the answer to poor nutrition in the poorer families. That resulted in scams, and outright theft that cheated the tax payers and ensnared those it was meant to help. I have seen this movie before and the 16 trillion dollars that have been spent on the social welfare programs of the Great Society have resulted in a part of Society that isn't so great, especially if you have to live there. This was the same kind of outright deception the Democrats have been practicing for fifty years. The Great Society and the War on Proverty has been an abject failure. Can we please ask when an exit stragety is going to be forthcoming?
