American Poverty

Presidential Failures and a Call to Action
Woody Klein explores the anti-poverty programs—or lack thereof—during each successive administration, explaining how and why no president, thus far, has been able to end poverty. American Poverty urges the president and Congress to work together to finally eradicate poverty in America.
Poverty has been a fact of American life since the nation's founding; every American president has faced this scourge during his administration in one way or another.

How did this happen?Woody Klein explores the anti-poverty programs—or lack thereof—during each successive administration, explaining how and why no president thus far has been able to end poverty.
