The piece questions whether welfare sustains or uplifts, noting rapidly rising year end relief figures at federal state and local levels. Four fifths of aid covers dependent children, with others being aged blind or disabled. New York City official Mitchell Ginsberg argued public assistance often fails to lift families to independence. Public aid should be temporary, not a long term life style.
