Critiques of the Great Society programs argue that they fostered dependency on government assistance, undermining individual initiative and self-sufficiency. They contend that the expansion of welfare programs led to increased bureaucracy and inefficiencies, diverting resources away from more effective solutions. Additionally, some critics claim that these initiatives did not adequately address the root causes of poverty and social issues, resulting in limited long-term impact. Finally, opponents often point to rising government spending and its potential contribution to inflation and budget deficits as a significant concern.

Why did support for the Great Society decline in the late 1960s?

One of the reasons support for the Great Society declined in the late 1960's were issues with the Vietnam war. The Vietnam war greatly reduced the amount of political power that could be used promoting The Great Society. Johnson felt that he was going to be criticized either way. If he elected to stay out of the war and work on his Great Society programs at home he would be criticized as a coward for not promoting the promise of containment. This would not only hurt him but the nation as well. If he entered the war it would essentially kill any chance of the Great Society working to its full extent, he felt that his obligation as President was to the nation, and therefore chose to enter the war, which damaged his Great Society.
