A Stopped Clock is Right Twice a Day

Bill Dedman of MSNBC examines Hillary Clinton's (then Hillary D. Rodham's) senior thesis paper from Wellesley College. Dedman writes:
In her paper, she accepted Alinsky's view that the problem of the poor isn't so much a lack of money as a lack of power, as well as his view of federal anti-poverty programs as ineffective. (To Alinsky, the War on Poverty was a “prize piece of political pornography,” even though some of its funds flowed through his organizations.) “A cycle of dependency has been created,” she wrote, “which ensnares its victims into resignation and apathy."
I would LOVE for someone to ask her is she still thinks that federal antipoverty programs "ensnare victims into resignation and apathy." This is simply proof that the old saying is true that a stopped clock is right twice a day.
