Did you remember that Don Rumsfeld was an anti-poverty warrior? He was appointed head of the Office of Economic Opportunity by President Nixon. His assistant? Dick Cheney!
Now I don't feel like such a lonely conservative! I also worked for OEO in 1968. I was Director of the Northeast Neighborhood Counseling Center, an OEO agency in Kansas City, Kansas, when Sargent Shriver was still the national director.
It was an exciting time. I soon learned, though, that, as Herman Cain is saying in 2011, in the final analysis, each of us must look within ourselves for the effort needed to avoid the poverty trap.
