| | Welfare state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Another criticism is that the welfare state often provides its dependents with a similar level of income to the minimum wage, encouraging benefit fraud and economic inactivity, especially common now in the UK and France. | | | The functional provider of benefits and services may be a central or state government, a state-sponsored company or agency, a private corporation, a charity or another form of non-profit organisation. | | | A fourth criticism of the welfare state is the belief that welfare services provided by the state are more expensive and less efficient than the same services would be if provided by private businesses. |

| | Welfare should be a state government responsibility so that each of the 50 states will be free to design its own qualifications and levels of support. | | | Welfare should be a national government responsibility so that needy single mothers of dependent children, elderly, and disabled persons in every part of the country can get support when they meet certain qualifications. | | | Surprisingly, the SDP, the party that created the welfare state, announced a program of spending cuts and tax increases to reduce the government deficit. |

| | Welfare Reform: An Analysis of the Issues |
| | Second, current law creates an incentive for greater welfare spending in the poorest states because the federal share of welfare spending is highest in states with low per-capita incomes. | | | In sum, although welfare recipients face high penalties on added earnings that discourage work, eliminating such disincentives extends eligibility for welfare to a larger population, reduces the work effort of people who join the rolls because of the increased income eligibility cutoff, and may not be cost effective for these reasons. | | | Current welfare reform proposals have revived debate over devolving welfare policy to the states and financing the transfer by block grants. |

| | Washingtonpost.com: Welfare Special Report |
| | The welfare "reform" of the Clinton era consists of two major elements: a revolutionary change in the basic goals set by the federal government; and a dramatic "devolution" of responsibility – turning what used to be a federal, centralized system over to the states. | | | Now it is conservatives who most strongly support certain welfare rules, including the family cap and a requirement that most teenage parents live with their own parents in order to receive benefits. | | | On the one hand, public assistance rolls continue to decline sharply – 12 percent in the year after the reform legislation was passed. |

| | For example, Wilensky's work on welfare spending shows that the main determinants are the age of the system and the structure of the population. | | | Less clear, but probably even more important, is the general concern to ensure that public expenditure on welfare is directly compatible with the need for economic development and growth. | | | In addition to federal and state activity, there are extensive private, mutualist and corporate interests in welfare provision. |

| | Welfare for the poor (AFDC and Food Stamps) totaled $50 billion in 1992, but welfare for corporations (pork-barrel projects, business subsidies and tax breaks) are estimated to run from $85 billion to $800 billion, depending on which think tank you listen to. | | | If you expand the definition of "welfare" to include all one-way transfers of benefits (such as student grants, school lunches and pensions for needy veterans), then welfare takes up only 12 percent of the combined budgets. | | | Together, AFDC and Food Stamps are by far the largest items of the welfare budget. |

| | Common Cause Urges an End to Corporate Welfare |
| | Corporate welfare comes in various guises: direct payments to companies, provision of public goods or services at below-market value, federal purchases of goods or services at above-market value, federal tax breaks, and exemptions from otherwise applicable laws. | | | Corporate welfare remains an intractable part of the federal budget in large part because campaign contributions flow to Members of Congress from those special interests that benefit from corporate welfare programs. | | | An independent commission on corporate welfare and an expedited process for implementing that commission's recommendations that would be established by S. 1376 is one way to ensure that these powerfully backed programs are subject to the same scrutiny as other budget items. |

| | Using money that was included in the 1996 welfare reform law, the Department of Health and Human Services is now conducting large-scale studies to explore ways to help these mothers improve their education so that they can command higher wages. | | | Ultimately, the hope of welfare reformers was that requiring poor single moms to work would itself lead to increased marriage. | | | It borders on certainty that the deficit will not be reduced by increased taxation, thereby making it certain that for the next several years the federal government will cut more programs than it expands. |
