The 1960s saw a significant decrease in poverty in the U.S. due to the implementation of President Lyndon B. Johnson's "War on Poverty" programs, such as Medicaid, food stamps, and job training programs. This led to a decrease in the national poverty rate from around 22% in the early 1960s to around 12% by the early 1970s.
