Welfare Reform: the pros and cons

Abstract: A 5 page research paper that examines the effects of recent welfare reform. The writer points out that trying to decide if the nation's current experiment with welfare reform is good or bad can be a rather perplexing problem for the average individual. Read one article, and it sounds as if welfare reform is a boon both to the nation and its lowest socioeconomic class. On the other hand, read another article and it sounds as if we have collectively hardened our hearts and transformed into Ebenezer Scrooge. The writer sites success stories and criticisms before concluding that, for the most part, welfare reform still leaves many of the nation's poor in dire circumstances
