Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich (D) on Sunday lashed out of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) after he refused to accept the Republican Party’s role in the increasing poverty and income inequality in the U.S.
During a panel discussion on ABC, Reich noted that Pope Francis had brought attention to the widening income inequality in the U.S.Gingrich argued that it was time for the Democrats to give up on former President Lyndon B. Johnson’s so-called “war on poverty” — which included Medicare, Medicaid, food stamp and education initiatives — after 50 years because it wasn’t working.
spoken like the radical right wing racist he is, all bigots are not racist but all racist are bigots that is why i chose the more correct definition of this son of the old south.
maybe without republican obstruction there would never have had to be a war on poverty and without their persistence of inhumanity it would not be still hurting Americans by their denial to help correct that which they initiated.
“The war on poverty which next year we are going to celebrate the 50th anniversary in addition to the Civil Rights Act,” Reich interruped. “The war on poverty was successful for a time. What has happened, however, over the last 30 years is much of the, much of the ardor, much of the concern, much of what propelled that war on poverty has dissipated.”“Why after five years of President Barack Obama, have we seen the problem worse?” ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl wondered.“Well the problem is worse; I think it has something to do, perhaps, with the intransigence of the Speaker’s Party,” Reich explained. “Because every time there was a jobs bill, every time there was an effort to expand a low income housing, every time there was an effort to provide better opportunities for young people — We’re talking about equal opportunity…”
and there it is they create it and like everything they do it falters a time goes by and people who believed come to see the truth of their deception that it is their fault that this is happening and their fault there are not enough jobs and their fault they don't have adequate health care and their fault the rich has all the wealth while they psych some out with that "taking your money to give to them" them automatically become Blacks and Hispanics even though more Whites receive those benefits than other, they do it but too many of us allow them to.
Rev. Al, "lots of things were acceptable until we stopped accepting them".
