The War on Poverty: 50 Years Later
"The War on Poverty: 50 Years Later" is a report by the Budget Committee of the United States House of Representatives published on March 3, 2014. It was published in recognition of the 50th anniversary of Lyndon B. Johnson's 1964 State of the Union address, in which he declared "an unconditional war on poverty in America".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The War on Poverty: 50 Years Later )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=26787 )〕
== Report ==
The reports advances the argument that federal antipoverty programs suffer from defects that “penalize families for getting ahead” and that “the complex web of federal programs and sudden drop-off in benefits create extraordinarily high effective marginal tax rates,” both of which “reduce the incentive to work”.
At the core of the report are recommendations to enact cuts to welfare, child care, college Pell grants and several other federal assistance programs. In an appendix titled "Measures of Poverty", when the poverty rate is measured by including non-cash assistance from food stamps, housing aid and other federal programs, the report states that these measurements "() implications for both conservatives and liberals. For conservatives, this suggests that federal programs have actually decreased poverty. For liberals, it lessens the supposed need to expand existing programs or to create new ones."〔〔
