Social Programs



America has spent more than $13 trillion on anti-poverty programs since the War on Poverty took off in 1965. While the number of seniors living in need today has declined, poverty for working-age Americans remains stagnant. Reforms that empower people by getting more citizens back to work will make our safety net stronger, and preserving programs for those truly in need will make these services more affordable for our fellow Americans.
