He proposed a federal income guarantee of 1600 annually for a family of four plus supplements to 3920 if the breadwinner works, reshaping aid to dependent children into a national program. The plan would raise total welfare recipients to about 22.41 million and add about 4 billion yearly to the current welfare bill, with phased revenue sharing starting 1971.
