This thesis considers the social welfare administration legislation that was passed during the presidential administration of Lyndon Johnson, and whether this legislation has successfully accomplished the eradication of poverty in the United States. It is concluded that poverty remains a persistent problem in the United States. Reasons for the persistence of poverty are considered and major private and public alternatives to present poverty relief programs are examined.
