	"What Was Really Great About The Great Society" by Joseph A. Califano Jr.
		The Great Society's main contribution to the environment was not just passage of laws, but the establishment of a principle that to this day guides the environmental movement.
		The Great Society confronted two monumental shifts in America: the urbanization of the population and the nationalization of commercial power.
		Sensing that mismatch, the Great Society produced a bevy of laws to level the playing field for consumers: auto and highway safety for the motorist; truth in packaging for the consumer; truth in lending for the home-buyer, small businessman and individual borrower; wholesome meat and wholesome poultry laws to enhance food safety.

	The Great Society: A Libertarian Critique by Murray N. Rothbard
		The Great Society is the lineal descendant and the intensification of those other pretentiously named polities of twentieth-century America: the Square Deal, the New Freedom, the New Era, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and the New Frontier.
		The cruelest myth fostered by the liberals is that the Great Society functions as a great boon and benefit to the poor; in reality, when we cut through the frothy appearances to the cold reality underneath, the poor are the major victims of the welfare state.
		The poor are the ones to be conscripted to fight and die at literally slave wages in the Great Society's imperial wars.

	Great Society
		The Great Society was supposed to fulfill a liberal agenda that had been roughly in place since the late 1940s and included such items as civil rights, national health insurance, and federal aid to local public schools.
		Among the prime beneficiaries would be the kind of blue-collar urban machine voters, fl and white, that were Daley's core constituents; and the key actors in putting the Great Society in place would be practical-minded, administratively capable liberals like Daley and Johnson.
		At the level of perception, though, the big Great Society was dominated by the tiny War on Poverty, another Johnson slogan for a congeries of programs, aimed mainly at inner-city ghetto neighborhoods, which he had announced a few months earlier, in his 1964 State of the Union address.

		An hour before the man in the doorway had been a pillar of the society, a businessman, a wealthy, trusted member of the community, but now he was barely clothed, wearing only a tattered shirt exposing most of chest, snug trousers of the working class missing an entire leg and one worn sandal.
		When the temple was completed and it was time for them to return to their homelands, they realized that they would most likely never see each other again, and this saddened them, both personally because of the friendships that had made, but also in their professions, because of all they had learned.

		The Great Society embodied a continuation of Franklin D. Roosevelt's social reform program enacted under the New Deal in the 1930s.

		The Great Society was ostensibly created to help the poor, but has in fact institutionalized poverty with the most devastating consequences reserved for the poor themselves.
		Americans are being forced to ask if the failure in New Orleans is testimony to the culture-destroying initiatives of the Great Society, or is it due to not enough government intervention.
		Keeping the poor in poverty was not the intention when the great socialist experiment began with Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty, but the widespread belief that motives rather than consequences justify ideas keeps the destructive policies in place.
