Abstract

This is Chapter 1 of the book "Critical Social Welfare Issues: Tools for Social Work and Health Care Professionals." It explains that welfare program in the U.S. provides a bare subsstence income to more than four million women raising children. It costs the federal government around $22 billion every year, accounting for less than 1 percent of the federal budget and only around 2 or 3 percent of most state budgets. Despite the meager budget for welfare program, political leaders and intellectuals from both the liberal and conservative camps think that welfare program is the country's major problem. It examines the various arguments advanced by these intellectuals and political leaders against welfare. Their reform proposals are discussed.
