Since the beginning of the War on Poverty in 1965, the U.S. has spent $15.9 trillion on welfare. Perhaps this price tag wouldn’t be so daunting if the welfare system actually reduced poverty. Unfortunately, it hasn’t. To the contrary, under the system, the ranks of the poor have continued to swell and welfare dependence has spread dramatically.
The $15.9 trillion of funding was unsuccessful, so maybe we shouldn't use any more money on federal projects to promote welfare because the number of people in poverty is increasing and more people are depending on welfare. You can't do the same thing over and over and expect a different outcome. [https://via.hypothes.is/http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2010/06/the-economy-hits-home-poverty
