Great Society

The Great Society was a series of Domestic initiatives announced in 1964 by President Lyndon Johnson at Ann Arbor, Michigan. These programs include:

VISTA,
Job Corps,
Upward Bound,
Neighborhood Youth Corps,
Head Start and
an unconditional war on poverty.

The Great Society was never fully funded because of the Vietnam War, which drained available resources. It was partially overturned by President Ronald Reagan's first budget.
