Yes, it was. Welfare rolls doubled. “Necessary” programs were added and expanded into areas that governments had never ventured before creating whole new classes of beneficiaries, now, including those living illegally in America.
The Cloward-Piven strategy was adopted, altered and put to work in our education system from K to advanced degree programs, used to build union enrollment and became the strategy de jour of our political, both Republican and Democrat, class in state houses and Washington, DC. The Cloward-Piven crowd sat back in smug enjoyment and plotted to expand it even more as movements such as AGW, anarchists and self incited (insert aggrieved party name) and other groups flood the system with not only their problems, but their self appointed resolutions which stripped down were/are merely the amount of the acceptable bribe (with a COLA built in).
Having a Congress here and there throw a setback now and again did not stop the misunderstood juggernaut that continues to tear our nation apart. Which brings us to today with Kucinich, Waters, Schumer, Boxer, Pelosi, Reid and Obama.
Cloward-Pivens is healthy and alive and will be much harder to kill today than before as even a stake through their black hearts may not be enough and shame is a garlic that has no effect.
