:heh: Anyone believing that there was really a War on Poverty is stupid. In 1964, the communist Soviet Union did more to fight poverty. The last 50 years has been nothing more than a covert and overt War on Black People. The US government does not believe in fighting poverty.

I did but found it to be written with some bias.The antipoverty effectiveness of these programs is typically measured by counting the number of people with pretransfer incomes below the poverty line(something also in contention) whose incomes are raised above the poverty line by income transfers. :ehh:

Available income, ebbs and flows with the state of the economy and with demographic shifts, especially immigration and the growth of single-parent families all play a part in these statistics, which is why I tend to ignore most "statistical" evidence presente dlike this or take them with a grain a salt. hey are rarely accurate reflections of whats really going on.
By failing to consider these other factors and ignoring the incentive effects these programs have on recipients, the op analysis overstates the success of safety-net programs. :whoa: IMHO

Eh, if you didn't agree with the methodology in the article you probably should have said so up front, really changes the tenor of the discussion.

"ignoring the incentive effects these programs have on recipients"
you're the one that seems to ignore these "effects" unless of course they confirm to your views.:usure:

Not at all I listed several factors I think people from every* side of the isle can agree should be considered. :manny:

:whoa: I'm not saying throw his findings in the bushes, just to take them with a grain of salt, and not to read too much into them.
