Cohen's Federal Welfare Plan Draws Support From White House
The plan proposes replacing state and local welfare with a fully federal system costing about 4 billion dollars more annually. Cohen argues the change would cut red tape, standardize benefits, shift funds to job training and birth control, and reduce rural to urban migration while keeping public concerns in view. He has briefed Vice President Humphrey and President Johnson, and tied the proposal to social security reforms and a broader tax and welfare overhaul. The move coincides with the rise of a new Consumer Federation of America pushing a unified consumer protection platform for the 1968 campaign.
