He launched his Great Society

Explanation:

LBJ's Great Society aimed at reducing poverty. It was based on the Welfare State, for instance the Medicaid and the Medicare programs granted free to the poor and to the elderly(over 65). It was based on the Keynesian methods that were first introduced by FDR in the thirties. Kennedy's and Johnson's policies were aimed at continuing the same trend of more government intervention.
