Biden's plan

One of Reagan's famous quotes is "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, I'm from the government and I'm here to help". This can be seen in how white liberals have tried to help Blacks. Since Lyndon Johnson declared “war on poverty” in 1965, government efforts to fight poverty have cost more than $23 trillion. The results are Black single moms have gone from 25% to 75%, the education gap continues, crime in the inner cities is up, drop out rates are up, the unemployment gap hasn't narrowed and the economic disparities continue. President Biden recognizes these problems has suggested that we spend money to solve them. All of these programs were justified believing that they could somehow make up for past inequities. Why would he want to continue policies that have failed. The answer is that Blacks vote 95% for democrats and they do so because the government is sending them public assistance. In addition democrats say the right things and Black people seem unaware of the results of these policies. President Clinton had the right idea when he said welfare should be a helping hand not a way of life but it was only words.
