Hillary Clinton, announced that she wants a poverty czar.

What does that mean?

We need a poverty czar. It means that she and those like her are admitting defeat in the war on poverty, are they not? They are admitting the failure of the welfare state. They are admitting in their own programs haven’t worked, if we need a poverty czar.

You gotta know how to translate this stuff.

Most people would hear Mrs. Clinton say, “We need a poverty czar,” and go, “That’s right! That’s right. So many people are losing ground in this country, there’s abject poverty everywhere. People are starving. They can’t afford gasoline or food in the grocery store. We need somebody on the case.”

Well, we’ve had a war on poverty since when? 1964. Guess it’s not working. Maybe we should surrender! Maybe we should pull out of the war on poverty. You talk about a bottomless pit?

Maybe the war on poverty ought to be given some benchmarks to meet and be able to survive on its own.
