It does if you consider the dollar as a reserve currency in light of the gold standard and the petro-dollar.

No it dies not and the statement was as moronic as your desperate defense of it.
No it isn't dunce; but based on your responses, the discussion is on a different planet from your empty head.
Think of what you would be like if you weren't a bigot!
Think of what you would be like if you weren't a repugnant dunce!
A dunce who swallows the leftist drivel dished out by the CBPP; color me surprised.
BINGO!

This from the person who said this when asked to detail these alleged cuts?
Yeah, the "Federal Duck Ponds to Impoverished Inner City Neighborhoods" program may have been cut along the way, but the overall spending in this war on alleged poverty is at an all time high.

Althea told me...
Well, you can continue to prove that you have no clue as to what we're discussing here, or you can show us how you feel Johnson's plan has been implemented for 50 years.
If you need proof that Johnson's war on poverty is ongoing for the last five decades; you just might be a dunce.
Major initiatives
Social Security Act 1965 (Created Medicare and Medicaid) – July 19, 1965
Food Stamp Act of 1964- August 31, 1964[3]
The Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 which created the Community Action Program, Job Corps and Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA), centerpiece of the "war on poverty" – August 20, 1964
Elementary and Secondary Education Act - April 11, 1965
The Office of Economic Opportunity was the agency responsible for administering most of the War on Poverty programs created during Johnson's Administration, including VISTA, Job Corps, Head Start, Legal Services and the Community Action Program. The OEO was established in 1964 and quickly became a target of both left-wing and right-wing critics of the War on Poverty. Directors of the OEO included Sargent Shriver, Bertrand Harding, and Donald Rumsfeld.
The OEO launched Project Head Start as an eight-week summer program in 1965. The project was designed to help end poverty by providing preschool children from low-income families with a program that would meet emotional, social, health, nutritional, and psychological needs. Head Start was then transferred to the Office of Child Development in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (later the Department of Health and Human Services) by the Nixon Administration in 1969.
President Johnson also announced a second project to follow children from the Head Start program. This was implemented in 1967 with Project Follow Through, the largest educational experiment ever conducted.[4]
The policy trains disadvantaged and at-risk youth and has provided more than 2 million disadvantaged young people with the integrated academic, vocational, and social skills training they need to gain independence and get quality, long-term jobs or further their education.[5] Job Corps continues to help 70,000 youths annually at 122 Job Corps centers throughout the country.[6] Besides vocational training, many Job Corps also offer GED programs as well as high school diplomas and programs to get students into college.
Last time I looked, these programs are still ongoing dunce.

Of course, it does, starting with Bretton Woods and the gold standard, then the petro-dollar from '74 onward.
