Johnsons Great society was envisioned as a means to help end poverty in America. His stance was that America was so wealthy that we could afford both a war in Vietnam and Social Programs to uplift Americans out of poverty at the same time. From that moment on America began to decline, because it ignored fiscal reality.

It's my opinion that the Great Society was Johnson's attempt to be revered historically at the same level as Roosevelt is, fortunately not only did that not happen, Roosevelt's real politics and catastrophic policies are becoming better known.
