Not only did he create 5-6 generations of entitled, his great welfare system also created a generation of people who believe they are victims of a way of life in which they chose and continue to choose to live.
"During the 1960s President LYNDON B. JOHNSON's administration declared an ostensible "war on poverty" with its GREAT SOCIETY programs: Head Start, the Job Corps, food stamps, and MEDICAID funded education, job training, direct food assistance, and direct medical assistance. Although the poverty rate declined in the 1960s, more than 4 million new recipients signed up for welfare."
