This New York Times article examines the state of poverty in the United States fifty years after President Lyndon B. Johnson declared a "War on Poverty." It discusses the challenges faced by those living in poverty, including lack of access to education, healthcare, and affordable housing. The article highlights the growing income inequality and the failure of some anti-poverty programs to effectively address the issue. It also explores the impact of economic downturns and changing job markets on the poverty rate. The author suggests that despite some progress, poverty remains a persistent problem in America, requiring continued efforts to tackle its root causes.
