Participant::Lyndon Johnson, of course.
His disingenuos (IMO) search for a premier place in American History led him to bully through (amongst several others) Aid To Dependent Children.
It was the death knell of the Black family and almost every other given time.
It also ended the government programs and judicial activism that resisted (and sometimes punished) irresponsible mothers and fathers who brought forth unwanted/unexpected children that they could not support. It actually rewarded the curse of absentee fathers and swamped the national welfare system and drove into the dirt.
What say you libtards?

Participant::Most destructive presidents of our times? Reagan, Trump and Bush Jr. In that order.
I had a real dislike for Carter because home mortgage rates were at credit card rates which made it very difficult for a young person to by a home…I was one of them…

Keymaster::Most destructive presidents of our times? Reagan, Trump and Bush Jr. In that order.
Why?
Reagan destroyed the middle class, increased the income gap between the rich and the middle class, destroyed unions, slashed taxes on the rich, reversed Carter’s energy policy, and started the reversal of FDR’s new deal. On foreign policy, he enabled the jihadist movement in Afghanistan which resulted in 9/11 ultimately.
Trump sabotaged US health care system, increased taxes on the middle class (the effect of which will be devastating), trying to start WW3 from the Persian Gulf, completely controlled by Netanyahu and Sheldon Adelson on foreign policy, helping his buddy MBS in genocide of Yemenis, destroying our environment, and a total fucking ignorant, racist bigoted maniac.
Bush Jr.’s fixation on Iraq allowed 9/11 to happen, lied to the world about Iraq, helped create the vacuum in Iraq which ultimately formed ISIS, wasted billions of dollars on Iraq war, slashed taxes on the rich which led to the worst recession of our times which Obama had to fix." All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force. " — George Orwell.

Participant::My guess would have been Bill (the pervert) Clinton.
Constant scandals took Clinton’s focus off running the country. When Paula Jones sued Clinton for sexual harassment, he became the first sitting president to testify before a grand jury investigating his own conduct.
An affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky culminated in Clinton’s impeachment by the House of Representatives on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. The only other president in US history to be impeached was Andrew Johnson.
Clinton failed to deal with the threat of Osama bin Laden, whose terrorist acts escalated and culminated in the Sep. 11, 2001 attacks that killed 2,973 people. Clinton was too distracted by scandals such as the threat of impeachment to take action against Al Qaeda.
A year after 18 American troops were killed in a failed 1993 mission to capture a warlord in Somalia, Clinton was hesitant to take action to stop a genocide in Rwanda. While he failed to act, more than half a million Tutsis were murdered. Critics accused Clinton of appeasement when he gave China Most Favored Nation (MFN) status despite their terrible human rights record and when he granted North Korea concessions in exchange for a promise to discontinue their nuclear weapons program.

Bill Clinton had the makings of a good president but being a coward and a womanizer was his downfall…

Having anyone who got in the way of him and Hillary killed didn’t help much either.

Participant::…
Alone
The decline of the family has unleashed an epidemic of loneliness.Kay S. Hymowitz
Spring 2019 The Social Order…
For the most part, this studied cultural silence about marriage, children, and kinship hasn’t damaged the prospects for my peers’ kids to create and sustain bonds so essential to individual and social well-being. They see these relationships all around them; they’re part of the air they breathe. That’s far from the case in less advantaged communities, where the most elemental bonds are fraying like a piece of 100-year-old muslin. Most policy discussions about the troubles of the American working class and poor center on vocational and technical education, higher-paying and reliable jobs, and benefits. These are necessary efforts, but they are not enough to counter the loneliness, kinlessness, and despair crushing so many spirits. There also must be what Tom Wolfe called a “Great Re-learning” about how to satisfy the human longing for continuity and connection.

Participant::Hymowitz sits in her town house in NYC and passes judgement on the low income and ignores how that low income stresses and destroys families. Leave it to you to pick an article like this to attack those that need the most help. Your hate is duly noted.

Participant::BUT, the absolute worst thing that LBJ gave us was a new immigration policy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_Nationality_Act_of_1965
The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 also known as the Hart–Celler Act, is a federal law passed by the 89th United States Congress and signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson. The law abolished the National Origins Formula, which had been the basis of U.S. immigration policy since the 1920s.
…
Though proponents of the bill had argued that it would not have a major effect on the total level of immigration or the demographic mix of the United States, the act greatly increased the total number of immigrants coming to the United States, as well as the share of immigrants coming to the United States from Asia and Africa.
…
The elimination of the National Origins Formula and the introduction of numeric limits on immigration from the Western Hemisphere, along with the strong demand for immigrant workers by U.S. employers, led to rising numbers of illegal immigrants in the U.S. in the decades after 1965, especially in the Southwest.[25] Policies in the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 that were designed to curtail migration across the Mexican-U.S. border led many unauthorized workers to settle permanently in the U.S.[26] These demographic trends became a central part of anti-immigrant activism from the 1980s leading to greater border militarization, rising apprehension of migrants by the Border Patrol, and a focus in the media on the criminality of immigrants.[27]
The INA’s elimination of national and ethnic quotas has limited recent efforts at immigration restriction. In January, 2017, president Donald Trump’s Executive Order 13769 temporarily halted immigration from seven majority-Muslim nations.[28] However, lower federal courts ruled that the Executive Order violated the INA’s prohibitions of discrimination on the basis of nationality and religion. In June, 2017, the U.S. Supreme Court overrode both appeals courts and allowed the second ban to go into effect, but carved out an exemption for persons with “bona fide relationships” in the U.S. In December, 2017, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the full travel ban to take effect, which excludes people who have a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States.[29] In June 2018, the Supreme Court upheld the travel ban, saying that the president’s power to secure the country’s borders, delegated by Congress over decades of immigration lawmaking, was not undermined by the president’s history of incendiary statements about the dangers he said Muslims pose to the United States.[30]

Participant::A big win for the “Shithole Countries” that is presently breaking the bank and shows no sign of slowing down to date.
“Eighty-five percent white in 1965, the nation’s population was one-third minority in 2009 and is on track for a nonwhite majority by 2042.”

So why is that a bad thing? Are whites inherently better than that non white majority you apparently fear? Are you afraid you might suffer the same problems that whites have visited on minorities?

It seems your problem with the Hart–Celler Act is that it stopped giving whites preference for immigration.
Were you born a bigot? I doubt that. Were you raised a bigot by your parents or did you learn bigotry somewhere along the way?
