i think it s heartening they re at least entering the conversation. because it raises the question, if objectively we have an inequal tuty problem, what s the gop solution? and economists say the official poverty vat 159%. but there s misleading statistics around there. it doesn t include food stamps, earned income tax credit, medicaid. maybe the war on poverty has been more successful than numbers sut, bob, because we have a safety net toyed we didn t have before. you can argue about the numbers to any extent that you want, but try to imagine what the situation, what the landscape would look like right now, if we hadn t had medicare, medicaid, the food stamp program, school lunches and that sort of thing. so to that extent, the war on pvty really helped a tremendous number of people, but going forward i think you ve made the essential point. you can t take care of inequality, upward mobility, poverty, any of those things
