Republicans unveil welfare plan to end entitlement aid
Republicans led by Rep. Clay Shaw propose ending AFDC as an entitlement and replacing it with three state block grants. The plan would end cash aid for teenage mothers under 18, require work for single parents after two years on welfare, and deny most public assistance to many legal immigrants. The proposal, while praised by business groups, faces criticism from Democrats and state officials who warn it punishes children and weakens family support.
