War on Poverty War on the Poor Debate in Congress
Democratic congressmen accuse the Reagan administration of ending the War on Poverty with the shutdown of the Community Services Administration while officials led by Dwight Ink defend the shift to local decision making. The debate centers on funding cuts from 521 million in 1981 to about 250 million for the new fiscal year and the 1982 budget changes consolidating poverty programs into a broader community services block grant.
