January 4, 1965 - In his State of the Union Address, President Lyndon Johnson describes his "Great Society" program, which includes a “War on Poverty,” laws promoting racial justice, health care funding for the elderly and the needy, urban renewal, and federal aid to schools.
It is appropriate that the anniversary of the start of a massive Democrat failure costing taxpayers billions of dollars while leaving those that were to be helped worse off, falls almost on the day of the next generation of Democrats taking part in the Iowa Caucus. The Clinton twins alone could cost billions more in their version of socialized medicine. John Edwards, as a solo act, is a one-man economic wrecking ball and Obama is learning how to pander to voters using our tax dollars at an impressive rate.
Let us all raise our glasses to the "Great Society" and Lyndon Baines Johnson's failure. Together, they almost cost America its soul, all so LBJ could build his legacy much as the current crop of losers are attempting. God save us.
As to LBJ's legacy, public education stinks, urban renewal ravaged cities large and small, the cost of medical care has skyrocketed while the quality has sunk and whole new forms of racism have been codified into law nationwide. Way to go Lyndon, you smuck.
Old joke: Why did LBJ call his daughter Linda Bird? He couldn't be that unkind to dogs.
