This is odd. In 1996, the poverty level in the USA stood at 13.7 percent. In 2004, the poverty level was 12.7 percent. As far as entitlement spending on poverty programs is concerned, it isn't even close. In 1996, President Clinton signed a budget that directed 12.2 percent of spending be directed toward the poor. In 2004, Bush's budget kicked 2 percent more than Clinton to poverty programs, an astronomical $329 billion. In fact, President Bush is spending more on poverty entitlement programs and education than any president in history.
I thought this is what liberals WANTED. Yet, you seem to condemn Bush for spending more on entitlement programs. Your hatred of Bush seems to have addled your reasoning ability -- or maybe your hatred has just suppressed your ethics. If your side is right, why must you deceive people?
