I think the failure of great society programs to achieve their goals.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C) the failure of Great Society programs to achieve their goals.

The trend in the graph provides evidence of the failure of Great Society programs to achieve their goals.

The poverty numbers are still increasing in the United States. This graph shows the increasing tendency from 1959 to 2009, according to the United States Census Bureau. The number of people and the poverty rate are still increasing despite programs that the U.S. government has implemented along the years. Franklin D. Roosevelt tried to implement a series of programs to help the citizens after the Great Depression. Lyndon B. Jhonson has his series of programs too. But the reality shows evidence of the failure of Great Society programs to achieve their goals.
