Sixty years ago, President Lyndon B. Johnson launched America's "War on Poverty." The goal? To equip Americans stuck in poverty with the tools to achieve success. If we fast forward to 2024, we might ask: Are we winning or losing the war on poverty?
On this episode we explore why the national effort to address poverty started with laudable goals, how the government policies that have resulted since haven't actually lived up to the initial aspiration, and what to do about it.
Nic Dunn is joined by Angela Rachidi, Senior Fellow and Rowe Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, where she focuses on poverty, safety net programs, family policy and workforce development. Angela points out flaws in existing federal anti-poverty efforts, explaining how the success sequence is a better framework on which to build policies to address poverty.
