	Welfare Reform: An Analysis of the Issues
		If a key goal of welfare reform is to move recipients into jobs, they will need day care for their children, an issue addressed by Sandra Clark and Sharon Long in Chapter 6.
		If welfare policy is permanently turned over to the lower tiers of government, states will find themselves in a "race to the bottom"—a race to cut welfare benefits faster than their neighbors, thereby endangering the well-being of the most marginal members of society, including large numbers of children living in poverty.
		In sum, although welfare recipients face high penalties on added earnings that discourage work, eliminating such disincentives extends eligibility for welfare to a larger population, reduces the work effort of people who join the rolls because of the increased income eligibility cutoff, and may not be cost effective for these reasons.

	S/R 12: "Welfare Reform:" Clinton Kills Safety Net
		The repeal of the welfare system is merely the latest manifestation of the class warfare that the Democrats and Republicans have waged on behalf of their corporate financial backers since Ronald Reagan's election.
		Welfare, like the minimum wage, is primarily a women's issue, and is a major factor in the feminization of poverty.
		However, merely eliminating people from the "welfare rolls" for whatever reason counts towards the quota of moving welfare participants into "work." Families will lose benefits if they don't participate in workfare for 20 hours a week or more, though child care is not require to be provided if the child is six or older.

	Washingtonpost.com: Welfare Special Report
		The welfare "reform" of the Clinton era consists of two major elements: a revolutionary change in the basic goals set by the federal government; and a dramatic "devolution" of responsibility – turning what used to be a federal, centralized system over to the states.
