Deconstructing the debate - welfare and what it says about us
2009-08-21 20:25:00 I'm a little less rotund in person. Photo by chanchan222.Whoa. A lot of comments on the last blog entry. The current count is 37, but I wouldn't be surprised if it went up before I finish writing this. Yesterday, I posted the blog, got a couple of comments, and then left for several hours to do an interview and on-site visit. When I returned, I was overwhelmed by the comments. I can't say I was excited. A lot of the things said both pissed me off and made me sad. A lot of them enraged me, because as I stated in my first post on this subject, I have an incredible Hulk policy with my friends. Hurt one of them,...
The trouble with TANF: why welfare just doesn't work
2009-08-20 19:35:00 I'm the fool that suggested TANF. Liz and I were talking about all the things we usually talk about: family, friends, TV, and money. Money is hard to come by at both our households lately, and since she had told me about her struggles with WIC and medicaid (coming later this week...), I said maybe she could apply for TANF.What's TANF? She asked....

Drug Tests for Welfare Recipients?
2009-03-28 14:49:00 I know I’ve been slacking here lately, but certain news stories are not escaping my attention. For example, Craig Blair, a Republican in the West Virginia Legislature, wants anyone applying for food stamps, unemployment compensation or any federal program to submit to mandatory drug tests. Similar laws have been introduced in Kansas, Hawaii, Missouri, Minnesota, and…wait for it…Florida. A person testing positive for drugs doesn’t get assistance from the state. Is this correct? Well, then, what happens to them? Drug addicts are a most pathetic group of people. They are suffering a severe health problem. They are punished with lost jobs, decaying teeth, premature death, alienation from friends and family. Now they are going to be further punished with no assistance? Why are we focused on punishment rather than concern and help? And who is going to pay for the added bureaucracy devoted to screening, testing, and evaluating these people? Drug addicts need re...

Does Welfare Cause Crime?
2008-11-16 19:40:00 In the comments, Uncle Milton says: I have spent extensive time in third world countries. In general I found them much safer than the inner cities of the US which are filled with people who collect checks from the government and still feel strongly they are owned something and will take it out on each and anyone wandering into their midst. The notion that "welfare causes crime" is very problematic. I don't believe that the folks pushing this argument have ever proved their case. In Europe, there is a good model backed up with many studies that shows that the more socialism you have in the system, the less crime you have.The more capitalism, the more crime. This is proven in the transition from socialism to capitalism in the FSU, Eastern Europe and China which were followed by tremendous crime waves.If you cut all those folks in the ghetto off of all the welfare, would they be any less criminal?There doesn't seem to be any theoretical model for why welfare would cause crime. Why wo...

The study by the Government Accountability Office, expected to be released Tuesday, said about 68 percent of foreign companies doing business in the U.S. avoided corporate taxes over the same period. Collectively, the companies reported trillions of dollars in sales, according to GAO's estimate....More than 38,000 foreign corporations had no tax liability in 2005 and 1.2 million U.S. companies paid no income tax, the GAO said. Combined, the companies had $2.5 trillion in sales. About 25 percent of the U.S. corporations not paying corporate taxes were considered large corporations, meaning they had at least $250 million in assets or $50 million in rec...

Raised on welfare, the 'Why Bother?' generation that doesn't want to work |
2008-04-22 02:53:00 A "why bother?" economy has been created in Britain which has left thousands with no motivation to work, a report published today concludes. Successive governments have encouraged a welfare culture that has left every family facing a £1,300 bill because the poor stay poor, it claims. The findings by the public services think tank Reform suggest that increased welfare dependency has made it more difficult for those on the lowest incomes to do better. An education system with a "dismal record" of educating the poorest, and a complex welfare system, have together created a far more divided society than other European countries, it finds. Means-tested benefits and higher taxes have reduced the incentives available to those on low incomes to better themselves, Reform says. It concludes: "significant minority do not have the capability or motivation to succeed" href="http://www.dailymail.co.u-k/pages/live/articles/news/news-.html?in_article_id=560939&-in_page_id=1770">The unintende...

Newsflash: The welfare state has NOT ended
2008-03-23 19:11:00 Bob Lonsberry, today: Like a fool, I went back and forth for most of three minutes, from the apple bin to the scale and to the apple bin again. I had two dollars and I wanted two apples and two pears, for lunch, and if I could find an apple small enough I could just afford it. The right fruit finally found, I went to the registers and took my place in line. The woman in front of me was in her 20s, healthy and young, with a fancy fruit drink and a gourmet salad. The salad looked pretty good. She had a leather coat and several pieces of garish gold jewelry. And then I had one of those American moments. One of those commonalities that bind us together and drive us crazy and are the foundation of folklore. While I stood there with my miser lunch, the leather-coated, jewelry-wearing, designer-beverage drinking, foo-foo salad eating healthy young woman opened her money-stuffed purse - and paid with food stamps. Years ago, it would have made me angry. Now I take it in stride, as just anoth...

Brian on Taxes, Welfare, and Laziness
2008-03-14 09:10:00 It's simple economics. You should understand--excise taxes, for example, are made for the very purpose of motivating or unmotivating people from engaging in certain behaviors. It isn't hard to see that when the government takes more and more of your money, you begin to ask the question, why? I am not opposed to taxes at all. In fact, looking at this great nation, I can't help but be grateful for the tax contributions that have funded my education, my roads, highways, etc. Indeed, this country wouldn't be what it is without faithful taxpayers.Now, back to the question: Why does the government need to continue taking more and more and more money? It sure sounds great to say that all of this money is going to the poor and needy, but we all know that's not true. The redistribution of wealth would be a great idea if it actually worked. The problem is that there are FAR too many abuses with government spending and the majority of it is not going to the poor."Help the less fortunate"....
