Description: RailroadTreasures offers the following item: Dependency Agenda, The by Kevin D Williamson Encounter Broadside No 28 Dependency Agenda, The by Kevin D Williamson Encounter Broadside No 28 Soft Cover 43 pages Copyright 2012 CONTENTS Encounter Broadsides LBJ and the Great Conundrum The New Deal and the Politics of Control A program for the Poor is a Poor Program 21st Century Leviathan ON THE BACK COVER Each year, the United States spends $ 65,o oo per poor family to "fight poverty" in a country in which the average family income is just under $5 o ,00 o. Meanwhile, most of that money goes to middle-class and upper-middle-class families, and the current U.S. poverty rate is higher than it was before the government began spending trillions of dollars on antipoverty programs. In this eye-opening Broadside, Kevin D. Williamson uncovers the hidden politics of the welfare state and documents the historical evidence that proves that Lyndon B. Johnson's "Great Society" was designed to do one thing: maximize the number of Americans dependent upon the government. The welfare state was never meant to eliminate privation; it was created to keep Democrats in power. KEVIN D.
