The article "How the War on Poverty Succeeded (in Four Charts)” by John Cassidy exemplifies   that the poverty rate has fallen pretty dramatically since the middle of the nineteen-sixties. This article was published by The New Yorker on January 14^th, 2014 therefore it shows that it is a recent published article. John Cassidy uses a lot of statistics in his article such as charts to add credibility to his statements, and he also talks about how Paul Ryan said “The War on Poverty has failed” at an event held to mark the fiftieth anniversary of Lyndon Johnson’s 1964 State of the Union address. Cassidy disagrees with Paul Ryan’s argument on poverty, Ryan believes “We keep dumping money into programs we know don’t work” and Cassidy thinks otherwise.
