What is Great Society?
{{Unreferenced|date=February 2022}} The '''Great Society''' was a set of programs proposed or enacted in the [[United States]] by [[President of the United States|President]] [[Lyndon B. Johnson]]. Two main goals of the Great Society were to end [[poverty]] and to end [[racial discrimination]]. New major spending programs that dealt with [[education]], [[medicine|medical care]], [[urban]] problems, and [[transportation]] were started during this period. The Great Society was like the [[New Deal]] domestic plan of [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]], but had very different programs. [[Medicaid]] and Medicare were implemented to help poor Americans. President Lyndon B. Johnson’s Great Society was the largest expansion of spending programs since the Great Depression. Many of the programs that exist can be attributed to the passage of the Great Society. {{US-stub}} [[Category:1960s in the United States]]
