Today, in America, we see the highest poverty rate known to America since it was recorderd in 1975. The Temporary Assistance for Need Familys or also know as TANF has been working on decreasing the number of families they deal with and the number of people on welfare to make the poverty rate decrease. There are less people on the welfare program today, but these are low-paying jobs the people who work this jobs will gain skills to make then excel to find a better job. Most people who are off the welfare plan are forced off because of time limits and are forced to go on other government programs like Medicaid or food stamps. These are not the only government supported groups that are dramatically changing. There is more and more child support money being paid each and every day. In our current country and society you would see more single moms working than you would have 10-20 years ago. The government is encouraging more single mothers to get married so they do not fall through financially. To go along with the poverty, 43% of those people who live in poverty make less than 19,450 dollars a year. This is a umrealistic number to live off of. Many of the children are affected by this new law, they are the few who are seeing a positive outcome, there is less child poverty today.
I believe that these government programs are neccesary, but people should not be to reliable on them. People need to learn how to work and have responsibility, it is not bad to be on welfare for a while if you have just recently had a child but i agree that the plan should be limited. People have become to dependent on such progams. The poverty level will not raise soon, but once people get off government programs and start working you will see the level rise as these people gain skills and eventually work their way up to earn more money. This will boost our economy due to interdependence and business will rely on these people to help out our economy, which will boost those companys these people will eventually work for
