According to the United States Census Bureau poverty in the U.S. reached 19.00% in 1964. In response, President Lyndon Baines Johnson increased spending on education, and established Medicare and Medicaid. The two entitlement programs were signed into law on July 30, 1965.

The total amount of entitlement spending represents $85,222 for every U.S. citizen (after eliminating illegals from the population count). It equates to $218,612 for every U.S. house hold. And it equals $272,527 for every tax payer after removing tax filers that owe no taxes or receive tax credits.

Conservatives truly hate the poorest among us! LOL
