Firing Line
Paul Ryan
Season 2018
Episode 103
“Firing Line” explores the federal government’s poverty agenda, an issue that has become a passion project for Speaker Ryan. While the results of President Lyndon Johnson’s “War on Poverty” are more nuanced than any political talking point, both conservative and liberal policy makers including the Speaker point to the near constant poverty rate as proof that the war has resulted in stalemate.
