It began to really eat away with me that in the 60s the federal government, desiring to help poor moms who were dealing with deadbeat dads, decided, ‘We’ll help, we’ll give a check for every child you can have out of wedlock.’”
When Texas Representative Louie Gohmert (R) took to the House floor on the 50th anniversary of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s “War on Poverty,” he used the opportunity to speak a few truths that the Left is obviously too afraid to admit.
