President Lyndon Johnson's support of social programs stemmed from his belief in the importance of addressing poverty and inequality in American society. He saw these programs as essential for building a more equitable and just society. Johnson believed that providing assistance to those in need would not only improve their lives, but also strengthen the overall economy and social fabric of the country. His administration implemented programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and the War on Poverty to address issues of healthcare access, education, and economic opportunity.
