Preempted Charity and Federal Spending Shaping the Great Society
The piece argues that vast social welfare spending under Johnson's Great Society is expanding beyond federal aims, with official and church groups increasingly disbursing funds. It notes church roles in education and welfare, legal fights over preschool Head Start, and a Baptist study showing many federal programs fund churches. A cabinet officer for urban affairs is planned, while cities face DoD concerns. Droughts oddly curb car washing, and a suburban family labels domestic strife as explosive catharsis.
