Lyndon Johnson saw his Great Society as a plan to alleviate the poor of the country from the cycle of poverty through reforms that encouraged public education. Most of the Great Society programs focused on education and job training. Jonson created the Department of Transportation and the Department of Housing and Urban Development to help poor towns and improve living conditions, these programs also helped create jobs. Johnson also created "Project Head Start" which was a antipoverty program that sought to improve the performance of the underprivileged in school by creating pre-school programs for children whose parents could not afford local pre-schooling. Johnson also created Medicaid which was a governmental financial assistance program for adults with children with physical or mental handicaps.
Basically he was seriously focused on improving the lives of the poor, to lift them out of poverty ultimately making a "Great Society" where there were no impoverished people, or to a least limit that number to a small amount. He Aimed most of his reforms at this goal...Hoped this helped...
