Abstract:
For state legislators and Members of Congress to devise sound welfare policies, they need accurate information. They do not have it today. The federal government should revise its surveys to provide more accurate information about the financial resources and actual living conditions of “poor†Americans. Such good information is the necessary first step in reforming America’s failed welfare system.
