Question: Who signed a U.S. law abolishing the welfare system’s Aid to families with Dependent Children?

Answer: Bill Clinton did, back in 1996. But AFDC was not eliminated as much as replaced, by a program called Transitional Aid to Needy Families (TANF). Here are the facts: What is the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Program (TANF)? TANF is a block grant program to help move recipients into work and turn welfare into a program of temporary assistance. Under the welfare reform legislation of 1996, TANF replaced the old welfare programs known as Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), the Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training (JOBS) program and the Emergency Assistance (EA) program. The law ended federal entitlement to assistance and instead created TANF as a block grant that provides States and tribes federal funds each year. These funds cover benefits, administrative expenses, and services targeted to needy families.

Question: Is individual welfare worse than corporate welfare? The public bailout of insurance giant (becoming a dwarf) AIG is estimated at $85 billion. According to one report, that's more than the Bush administration spent on Aid to Families with Dependent Children during his entire time in office. That amount of money would also pay for health care for every man, woman, and child in America for at least six months. So should we be more worried about a woman getting food stamps or should we be more concerned that the Republicans are privatizing profit while nationalizing/socializing the risk?

Answer: You answer your own question. The figures do not lie. It is a shell game played between Government and big corporations while diverting attention to the poor who are on welfare.

Question: Southern Californians, did you know that 2/3 of all births in LA County hospitals are to illegal aliens? I had been trying to figure out if a sole estimate I had seen that 40% of all students in LAUSD schools were illegal aliens or children of illegal aliens could possibly be accurate. Now I believe it. "Michael Antonovich of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors states that two-thirds of the births in Los Angeles county hospitals are to illegal aliens. Additionally, Mr. Antonovich notes that these children now account for 30 percent of all AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) cases in Los Angeles County." http://www.cis.org/articles/1993/back793… Thanks, Sashie, for the link. What do you think? testy, I specifically never quoted that urban myth mentioned in your link because I could never track down an actual LA Times source even though it was circulated as being from the LA Times. CIS, however, is a think tank whose studies are used for lobbying the government. While their agenda selects the precise elements they look at, they aren't going to lie about it, or they would lose credibility for all future studies. hqwin - I wasn't even thinking that they were breeding like rabbits. I was thinking that there was an overwhelming number of them, and no wonder our school system has no funds for the programs it had when I was a child. It all goes to ESL. Pancha, my biggest concern is the schools. The more illegal immigrant children and children of illegal immigrants, the greater burden the rest of us have to subsidize while getting less and less acceptable instruction out of the schools for our own children. Walls closing in? No. Problem that needs drastic action? Yes.

Answer: That bit of info doesn't surprise me one iota. Think how many illegal aliens - you can call 'em immigrants, they're still aliens - will tax our social services by the year 2010 if we don't plug those border leaks.e

Question: why did they cut social programs during the 1980's? like Aid to Families with Dependent Children and to things like educational programs and food stamps.

Answer: It was all part of Ronald REagan's administration. The idea was that money was being wasted on the undeserving poor, which was pretty much all the poor. People on Social Security Disability were quizzed and tested, and many were put out of the program. The test was, if they could boil water, they could get a job. For people receiving disability who had children, the children were taken off the parents' disability when they were 16, because they could then get a job. Never mind school. (Previously, the children were assisted until they were 18, or 21 if in college.) If this sounds like a hard and cruel approach, it was. A memo was circulated to Social Security offices telling what to do if a person committed suicide in the office -- as many threatened to do after losing their Social Security Disability payments. The upshot of all this was, ironically, that the vast majority of SSD recipients had to be put back on a few years later, and given back payments, which ended up costing the fed tons more $$$ than they "saved" by casting them off. I can only speak to the Social Security situation, as that was one that affected my family. But the ADFC (aid to dependent children), food stamps and education programs all suffered. Actually, that was when fed aid to colleges and universities was cut, which meant those school had to raise tuition drastically just to stay open. As to why this was done, the idea was to get all the "welfare cheaters" off the federal expenses. The Regan administration was fond of citing the "welfare Cadillac" people, in case any such actually existed.

Question: Why do Democrats hate being fiscally responsible? When entitlements began in America, they were mainly focused on the elderly (through Social Security and Medicare) and the poor and disabled (through Aid to Families With Dependent Children and Medicaid). Benefits for the middle class were largely given through tax deductions for mortgage interest and the purchase of health coverage by businesses. America eventually retreated from some entitlement commitments to the poor because they involved a moral hazard -- discouraging work and responsibility. Entitlements for the elderly have remained a strong, national consensus. But the idea of a middle-class entitlement to health care, achieved through an individual mandate, subsidies and aggressive insurance regulation, seems to change the nature of American society. Entitlements in the Obama era are no longer a decent provision for the vulnerable; they are intended for citizens at every stage of life. Americans resist taking this lollipop precisely because America is not Europe -- which even Europe, it seems, can no longer afford to be http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/con…

Answer: Because they have the mentality of two year olds, and two year olds have no concept of paying for the things they want. They just say "MINE! GIMME!" then they grab, scream, and hit. Sort of like the government we have now.

Question: what do you thinks political policy? 1. Describe the four factors that shape the American approach to welfare policy, and discuss why this system is quite different from those found in European nations. 2. Describe the major elements of the system, including the Social Security Act of 1935, the Medicare Act of 1965, the abolition of the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program, and the development of the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program. 3. Explain why some welfare policies involve majoritarian politics, while others involve client politics. Give examples and indicate the political consequences of each. 4. Discuss the politics of welfare reform.

Answer: 1. Social policy may be influenced by religion and the religious beliefs of politicians. 2. In United States politics, social policies are those which regulate and govern human behavior in areas such as sexuality and general morality. Social policies are in contrast to other, more traditional forms of political policy, such as foreign policy and economic policy. Modern-day social policies may deal with the following issues: abortion, and the regulation of its practice the legal status of euthanasia the rules surrounding issues of marriage, divorce, and adoption poverty, welfare, and homelessness and how it is to deal with these issues the legal status of recreational drugs the legal status of prostitution 3. Political conservatives as a whole generally favor a more traditionalist approach that favors individual initiative and private enterprise in social policy. Political liberals, on the other hand favor the guarantee of equal rights and entitlements to all people and tend to favor state regulation or insurance to support this. 4. Social policy aims to improve human welfare and to meet human needs for education, health, housing and social security. In an academic environment, social policy refers to the study of the welfare state and the range of responses to social need.

Question: How's this for fixing health care? How to employ market reforms? Here are five simple steps. * Make health insurance more like other types of insurance. Health savings accounts, which passed as part of the Medicare reforms of 2003, were an important first step, separating smaller expenses from high-deductible insurance, for catastrophic events. However, the legislation is overly rigid. Congress must expand and revise the structure of HSAs, and level the tax playing field for those not covered by an employer plan. * Foster competition. American health care is the most regulated sector in the economy. The result? A health insurance policy for a 30-year old man costs four times more in New York than in neighboring Connecticut because of the multitude of regulations in the Empire State. Americans can shop out-of-state for a mortgage; they should be able to do so for health insurance. Likewise, many laws intended to promote fairness end up reducing competition and thus innovation. Congress should reconsider such laws, beginning with the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA). * Reform Medicaid, using welfare reform as the template. Medicaid spending is spiraling up, now consuming more dollars at the state level than K-12 education. Like the old Aid to Families with Dependent Children, part of the problem stems from the fact that the program is shared between both the federal and state government -- and is thus owned by neither. Congress should fund Medicaid with block grants to the states, and let them innovate. * Revisit Medicare. Back in the late 1990s, a bipartisan commission approved a reasonable starting point for Medicare -- junking the price controls, and using the Federal Employees Health Benefits Plan as a model. Elderly Americans would then have a choice among competing private plans. Given that the unfunded liability of Medicare is four times greater than that of social security, the time is right to experiment with this idea. * Address prescription drug prices by pruning the size and scope of the FDA. It costs nearly a billion dollars for a prescription drug to reach the market, and roughly 40% of that is due to safety requirements. This is effectively a massive tax on pharmaceuticals. With new technology and focus, it would be possible to update the FDA, drawing from President George H. W. Bush's experiments with contracting out certain approval steps to private organizations, which boasted lower costs and faster approval times.

Answer: HSA's make healthcare much more affordable for the rich, and do absolutely nothing for the poor. The basic notion of a HSA is that you should pay for most of your own medical care yourself, without any insurance. Really what they are is insurance plans with extremely high deductibles (often $10,000+). The money you spend is then deductible on your taxes. This means that a rich person, paying a high marginal income tax rate, gets a 35%+ discount on medical care, while a poor person gets 10% or even nothing for a discount. So in effect, medical care is cheaper if you're richer. What HSA advocates are really saying is that the problem with health care is that people have too much insurance. A very curious position to take.

Question: Poll: Should the Government give out so much welfare money/food stamps? http://www.zompist.com/welfare.html Medicaid (excluding aid to aged, disabled, blind) - $32 billion AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) - $22 billion Food stamps - $27 billion Housing subsidies - $22 billion School breakfast/lunch programs - $6 billion Head Start - $3.5 billion Miscellaneous programs - $3 billion Do you think that Welfare is good?

Question: Were you aware that in 1995, an estimated $1.13 billion in AFDC and food stamp benefits went to illegals? In fiscal year 1995, an estimated $1.13 billion—$700 million under the AFDC(Aid to Families With Dependent Children) program and $430 million in Food Stamp benefits—was provided to households in which either the head of household or his or her spouse was an illegal alien.These benefits were provided to illegal alien parents for the well-being of their U.S. citizen children.The payments represent about 3% of total AFDC benefit costs and about 2% of total Food Stamp benefit costs.Approximately 153,000 AFDC households—with 300,000 citizen children—and 224,000 Food Stamp households—with 428,000 citizen children—had an illegal alien as the head of household or spouse of the head of household. In many cases, these estimates reflect the same households and citizen children, since 94% of the AFDC households with an illegal alien parent also received Food Stamp benefits and 65% of the Food Stamp households with an illegal alien parent also received AFDC.

Answer: That's absolutely disgusting! Go to grassfire (dot) org/42/petition.asp and follow a link at the top left corner for petitions. Join the "Secure Our Borders" petition. Voice your opinion against rewarding illegals for breaking the law. Send everyone you know to this petition. I would put the exact link to the site here, but yahoo is blocking that. The idea of rewarding illegals who broke the law with a path to citizenship is ridiculous. Our government is a worthless disgrace.

Question: social welfare policy? what is the political difference between programs like social security or medicare and aid to families with dependent children that make the latter easier to reform.

Answer: Social security and medicare are open to everyone. Welfare and food stamps are only for poor people. The stigma applies to poor people. Legislators will get SS and Medicare. They probably won't get welfare and food stamps. BTW, AFDC was changed long ago to TANF, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families.

Question: Is "corporate welfare" an inaccurate name? By and large, government payments (or any payments) encourage behavior, and taxes discourage it. Some have said that social welfare programs - aid to families with dependent children, etc. - has the effect of "encouraging" lack of work and unwed parenthood. Even FDR said that welfare can have "narcotic effects." (Although I would hope that everyone would favor help for the "truly needy" - but how do we define that?) Therefore it's possible to say that welfare can encourage behvior that society disfavors. So my question is, what behavior does "corporate welfare" (such as tax credits tied to oil companies' exploration efforts) encourage? And what behaviors would removing these credits discourage? Is one system rewarding work and effort, and the other discouraging it?

Answer: It's only called corporate welfare when Republicans do it. When Democrats do it it's called protecting jobs, protecting the environment, etc.
