Welfare Reform Congress should end all federal funding of welfare, sending responsibility for both welfare programs and tax sources back to the states; and tear down barriers to economic growth and entrepreneurship. From across the political and ideological spectrum, there is now almost universal acknowledgement that the American social welfare system has been a failure. Since the start of the War on Poverty in 1965, the United States has spent more than $5.4 trillion trying to ease the plight of the poor. What we have received for that massive investment is--primarily--more poverty. Our welfare system is unfair to everyone: to taxpayers, who must pick up the bill for failed programs; to society, whose mediating institutions of community, church, and family are increasingly pushed asid Read More Go to Site CNN - Congress members act on welfare, health care reform - August 1, 1996 Votes:0 Crunch time for Congress Members act on welfare, health care reform August 1, 1996 Web posted at: 11:30 p.m. EDT WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Pushing to pass legislation before members leave for a monthlong recess, Congress acted on a number of bills Thursday, including sending President Clinton a historic welfare reform bill. With a vote of 78 to 21, the Senate followed the House's lead and passed the final version of the compromise welfare bill. Clinton, who vetoed two previous versions, has pledged to sign it. The bill turns control of welfare over to the states; limits lifetime benefits to five years; requires adults to work after two years; and denies assistance to noncitizens, even those who are in the United States legally. Clinton considers the last provision extreme, along with the bill's Read More Go to Site CNN - Europe takes a cue from U.S. welfare reform - August 9, 1996 Votes:0 Europe takes a cue from U.S. welfare reform August 9, 1996 Web posted at: 1:00 a.m. EDT (0500 GMT) From Correspondent Margaret Lowrie LONDON (CNN) -- Great Britain and many European countries are following in the footsteps of the United States as they consider welfare reform. A historic welfare-reform bill just passed by Congress is expected to be signed into law soon. It turns control of welfare over to the states and limits benefits. It ends a six-decade guarantee of open-ended federal aid to the poor. "I think the American welfare debate is affecting the debate in Europe. What you're seeing around the world is a sort of global revolution, a reassessment of welfare states, trying to make it affordable into the next century," according to Roderick Nye, Director of the Social Market Founda Read More Go to Site CNN - Florida to sue Washington over welfare reform - Apr. 22, 1997 Votes:0 Florida to sue Washington over welfare reform April 22, 1997 Web posted at: 9:39 p.m. EDT (0139 GMT) TALLAHASSEE, Florida (CNN) -- The state of Florida plans to sue the federal government over changes in the welfare system affecting elderly, poor and disabled legal immigrants, becoming the first state to sue over welfare reform. Florida will claim, in the suit to be filed Wednesday in federal court in Miami, that the U.S. government is disproportionately shifting the cost of balancing the federal budget to the states, said April Herrle, spokeswoman for Democratic Gov. Lawton Chiles. More than 1 million legal non-citizens live in Florida, and about 175,000 receive one or more benefit, according to the state.

While he has promised to sign it, critics and recipients wonder whether the proposed changes will meet the needs of the poor. In Culpeper, Virginia, population 30,000, welfare recipients already know how the changes will affect them. Virginia moved ahead with its own welfare reform last year, passing tough new ground rules for public assistance.

At no time in history has the number of applicants for U.S. citizenship been so large. In Los Angeles County alone, it's quadrupled in just two years. "In '94 I think we were running about 75,000 applications a year. Last year, we ran about 175,000, and we're looking at about 300,000 this year," said Richard Rogers , who works in the Los Angeles branch of the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

And some of those caregivers are often forced to accept welfare to support the kids. Under recently enacted welfare changes, grandparents -- along with other recipients -- will be expected to go back to work. Consider Willa Jones, a grandmother who planned to retire at age 55. But when her daughter was unable to care for five children, Jones took over. Now, at 58, she works as a full-time parent. She didn't go looking for welfare. "I didn't want them to give me any money," Jones said. "I was working.

While CSD is supposed to help children by removing them from abusive and/or neglectful parents, what they have ended up doing in many cases is to define conditions of poverty or voluntary simplicity as "neglect" and demand that parents live a middle-class American lifestyle or lose their kids. Here in Josephine County, Oregon , several people have been threatened with the removal of their children for such parental "neglect" as having no electricity, phones, or hot running water. Many families have done without such amenities for Read More Go to Site Latest Breaking Health News & Information: Applesforhealth.com Votes:0 English | Italian | French | German | Spanish | Portuguese | Chinese | Japanese | Korean Volume 1, Number 37 - February 11, 2000 The Latest Breaking Health News and Information Subscribe To Our FREE Newsletter Search Applesforhealth.com Search The Web or super search the health web Select A Search Topic Clinical Trials Doctors Dentists Pediatric Dentists Hospitals Chiropractors Eye Doctors Alternate Health Prof. Drug Interactions Medications Diseases Poisons Injuries Mental Health Medical Tests Surgical Procedures Children's Health Men's Health Women's Health Parenting Senior Health Google Search Yahoo Health News Medical Search Health Library Health Topics Gyms Currency Converter Travelers' Health People Word Finder Thesaurus Search Zip Codes Maps Time & Weather Small Business Help Home R Read More Go to Site Search Results: The Independent Institute Votes:0 Search Advanced Search Printer Friendly Email to a Friend The Lighthouse Our weekly E-Mail Newsletter Subscribe Unsubscribe Your participation will advance liberty.

President Clinton signed historic legislation Aug. 22, which ended the federal guarantee of cash assistance to the poor and turned welfare programs over to the states. "I hope this day will be remembered not for what it ended, but for what it began," Clinton said at a White House ceremony, with three former welfare recipients at his side.

Foldvary, Senior Editor "Welfare reform" is a change in the policy of providing government welfare assistance to the poor, shifting from just providing aid to obtaining employment and becoming self-sufficient. The most effective welfare reform policies would be to remove the barriers that government has imposed on labor and enterprise and to improve the skills and work attitudes of the unemployed poor. While some attention is being paid to increasing the labor skills of the poor, the main policy thrust is to push the poor into jobs by removing welfare aid. Federal legislation to reform welfare programs centers on The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 and the Balanced Budget Act of 1997.

That statistic was highlighted in the state Department of Public Welfare's report, "Welfare Reform After Two Years," which was released yesterday. While Feather O.

The federal AFDC program is gone, along with its entitlements to cash assistance for needy families. The legislative vehicle that replaced it, called the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Program (TANF), imposes work requirements and time limits that wipe away the assurance of welfare benefits just because a family's income warrants them.
