Somehow you’re arguing that more people starving is …. Better?
No, I'm pointing out that your argument is specious at best.
How is it specious? Do you know what the word even means?
Fact: there are more people living in poverty after the war on poverty was started than there were before those policies were put in place.
There’s nothing specious about that
Fact: The percentage of people that are in poverty is significantly lower than it was multiple decades ago.
if you use federal definition for US... sure, but you are a bootlicker if you use that definition.
