Report warns South poor face deeper cuts under budget plan
The Southern Regional Council issues a forecast that Reagan welfare changes will shrink AFDC, Medicaid, food stamps, and ETA programs in the 11-state South. It cites possible 40 percent AFDC cuts, 20 percent further losses if reporting requirements tighten, and a 7 percent Medicaid cut costing about $105 million regionally. It labels the impact as a wartime casualty list for the South’s poor.
