And we always love data with no context here. Let me fix that for you...

War on Poverty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
LOL figures. So the definition of the "war on poverty" is supposed to provide context? Elbow and I are way ahead of you, its getting old having to drag you along

Well, ripped from your Wikipedia article, which was demonstrated in my charts, and which doesnt need context. If you know how to read bar graphs and charts, youll get all the context you want.

In 2004, more than 35.9 million, or 12% of Americans including 12.1 million children, were considered to be living in poverty with an average growth of almost 1 million per year. According to the CATO institute, since the Johnson Administration almost $15 trillion has been spent on welfare, with poverty rates being about the same as during the Johnson Administration.[23]
I left the footnote so you can find it and read it and then tell me how its "out of context"

Thank you for agreeing with my previous point.
