    President Trump and his Admin released a report titled, Expanding Work Requirements in Non-Cash Welfare Programs, that declared the “War on Poverty is largely over and a success.” As a MoC who represents a district w/ a 26% poverty rate, let me make it clear--poverty exists.

        Their war on poverty has ended because they've recalled their troops. The war on the impoverished, however, has only just begun.

        If someone is having a hard time, they shouldn't have to work. Mothers shouldn't have to work when they have their child either! We need to expand our welfare programs and not require work for them!

        Mr Evans, get a better mayor and get some in Philadelphia to control their urges or be responsible about it and that's how you end poverty. It must start with them and you if you have any influence plus want it to get better. A former city resident

        Didn't President Clinton enact 'welfare to work'? That was a success in the fight against poverty. But facts are so much more boring than divisive politics and keeping people ALWAYS hoping for more

        Looks to me like Evans is pointing out that the admin is claiming the war against poverty is over, when it is far from over.

        "Here's Williams' roadmap out of poverty: Complete high school; get a job, any kind of a job; get married before having children; and be a law-abiding citizen. Among both black and white Americans so described, the poverty rate is in the single digits." - Walter E. Williams

        And? Who is questioning that these are good goals? You don't address the issue of addressing existing poverty. Your response is a non-sequitur
