My mission for the next month, between now and Christmas, is to dispel myths and educate people about what welfare really is. By welfare I mean both bottom-line survival programs like food stamps, Medicaid, and housing; and broader social programs that seek to provide a bridge from poverty to self-sufficiency.
There is so much misunderstanding right now about what these programs are, how they are paid for, what their goals are, how their effectiveness is measured and what liberals/Democrats want for the future of the safety net. I will address these myths and assumptions over the next month - I would LOVE to hear from you now about it before I get started. What are your questions, opinions, hopes and concerns about government-funded social programs?
