Abstract:

The proposed budget cuts to be discussed in this paper include many of the income security programs such as social security, unemployment compensation, and welfare as well as public service employment. The public jobs program is included because it offers benefits to workers who might otherwise be unemployed and may be thought of as a form of unemployment compensation.
