Scenarios about 'war on poverty'
The War on Poverty refers to a set of initiatives and legislation launched by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964 to address widespread economic hardship in the United States. This ambitious domestic policy agenda included programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, work study, Head Start, and expanded Social Security, representing one of the most significant expansions of the federal government's role in social welfare. The War on Poverty fundamentally altered American politics and remains a controversial touchstone in debates about government's proper role in addressing economic inequality.
