State and Federal Welfare Debate Returns to States
Economist Dr. Freeman argues welfare should be state controlled and funded, citing rising ADC rolls and federal overreach. He notes 157 percent benefit growth since 1951, 200 percent welfare roll growth since 1961, and asks if eliminating federal welfare could free states to raise their own revenues. He questions how to implement such a shift amid current Congress and Washington bureaucracy.
