Invigorate Reflection

Evenin'


35 years ago we heard about the Great Society, a step forward from The New Deal.

Here is President Johnson in his words to us all then. It's worth a listen to invigorate reflection on ambition.

LBJ: “We must open opportunity to all our people. Most Americans enjoy a good life. But far too many are still trapped in poverty and idleness and fear. Let a just nation throw open to them the city of promise. To the elderly, by providing hospital care under Social Security and by raising benefit payments to those struggling to maintain the dignity of their later years.”
