Welfare rolls rise with expanding aid programs
A Brookings Institution report by Henry J. Aaron places postwar welfare growth in perspective. The article notes that in 1960 about 40 million were poor, with only 7 to 9 million receiving welfare aid, surplus farm commodities, or public housing, and that by 1970 and 1973 program outlays and beneficiary numbers had surged. It highlights the rising political influence of the poor, the complexity of reform efforts, and the growing cost of Medicaid and other programs as benefits broaden while poverty numbers decline.
