:President Lyndon Johnson is a perfect example of someone who did not learn from history. One of the things he is known best for is creating the “Great Society.” The Great Society was supposed to end poverty giving government money to poor people. It was very similar to the “New Deal,” previously put out by President Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s. The New Deal also promised to help the poor by giving them taxpayer money. However, this program completely failed. And just like the New Deal, the Great Society failed as well. If President Johnson had studied the New Deal and learned of its failure, then he would not have created another program so similar to it.  (Ruth L.)

:I think that the most important person between 1945 and 1980 was Lyndon Johnson - though not for the good.  During his presidency Lyndon Johnson created many problems that took a long time to resolve, and some which have not been resolved to this day.  (Kevin F.)
