Reagan outlines welfare reform plan to push work over dole
California Governor Ronald Reagan calls welfare a failure without goals and proposes a national model welfare overhaul. The plan would require able bodied recipients to work or train, funded by cutting about 740 million dollars in combined federal state and local funds, and aims to replace much of the current system with work driven relief. Reagan criticizes guaranteed minimum aid and argues state programs would still be needed under federal reform.
