It is prejudiced for the same reason: w/indiscriminate judgment he doesn't distinguish between what works and what doesn't; if it is even remotely connected to the WoP (block grants, for instance), then it is unacceptable. In most cases that I've read, any domestic program seems unacceptable to BC. <BR/><BR/>Poverty levels remained flat since the 1970s because of the systematic underfunding of all WoP programs for a quarter of a century beginning w/the Reagan Administration in 1980. It's the conservative Republican approach to government: declare government bad, then underfund and overwork programs until they break down. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.S-townMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948307051485318061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-81512760231093826712007-12-26T09:40:00.000-06:002007-12-26T09:40:00.000-06:00What was vague or prejudiced about the article on ...What was vague or prejudiced about the article on Taxing Tennessee? <BR/><BR/>The NPR link states the War on Poverty produced real results initially but poverty rates have remained flat since the 70's. Wouldnt this suggest re-tooling is in order, or is it appropriate to continue doing the same thing for 30 more years with no discernible improvement?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
