Chinese Culture Chinese Family

686 wordsI wish it were true that "trillions of dollars" have been spent on the War on Poverty. Indeed, I would settle for a small fraction of the trillions of dollars we spent on the military in the 1980 s. In fact, the money we spend per-capita on programs for the poor in America is trivial in comparison with per-capita expenditures for the poor in western Europe.
