She discussed the unintended consequences, costs, and constitutional implications of the proposals, and she responded to telephone calls and electronic communications. Ms. Lower-Basch, who adamantly opposes the idea, in her arguments said that such a stipulation is "part of a trend to try to blame poor people for their situation," and that people who use libraries, mortgage deductions, or other public benefits are not drug tested as a prerequisite for receiving them. This program is part of C-SPAN's regular Friday "America by the Numbers" series. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/304706-4 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/304706-4 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT Robert Rector talked about the $630 billion a year spent by the federal government on hundreds of anti-poverty programs.

The Family Assistance Plan that President Nixon proposed on August 8, 1969, sought to replace the bureaucratic administration of assistance with direct cash payments to the poor.

Mr. Voegeli was interviewed at the annual book publishing trade show, Book ExpoAmerica, held at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/293833-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/293833-1 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT Daniel Shapiro talked about his book [Is the Welfare State Justified?] (Cambridge University Press; July 9, 2007).

Panel members talked about a welfare system of roughly 85 overlapping federal tax and transfer programs providing cash, food, health care, and other benefits to low-income families that is uncoordinated, unnecessarily complicated, inequitable, and expensive to administer. In addition, as some low-income families make financial progress, higher taxes and benefit reductions can combine to discourage individuals from working more or improving their job skills.

The book examines welfare reform from its enforcement in the welfare office to its effect on the lives of welfare recipients. According to statistics, over 90 percent of adults receiving assistance are mothers with dependent children. In researching the book, Ms. Hays devoted three years to visiting two welfare offices and their clients, one in a medium-sized town in the Southeast, another in a large, metropolitan area in the West. While reform has resulted in a steep decline in the welfare rolls--from 4.4 million families in 1996 to 2.1 million in 2001, Ms. Hays contends that the time limits imposed by welfare reform push millions of low skilled, mostly unmarried women into the labor market. They are usually qualified to accept only menial work for low wages, poor hours, and no benefits. Ms. Hays also points out that welfare reform reveals a contradiction about the meaning of work and family life in our society. She argues that our culture emphasizes traditional family values, yet the American ethic of "personal responsibility" requires that these women work, forcing them to leave their children in childcare or at home alone. After her remarks, Ms. Hays answered questions from members of the audience. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/173561-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/173561-1 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT Following a meeting with President Bush, members spoke to reporters outside the White House about Welfare reform proposals. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/175065-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/175065-1 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT Ms. Meckler talked about debate over extending 1996 Welfare reform legislation.
