Series: Dilemmas in American Politics
Description: In discussing how political rhetoric shapes the welfare debate, author Anne Marie Cammisa examines our response to caring for the less fortunate, how welfare came to be the problem instead of the solution, and welfare policy from the federal to the state level. Also, a chapter is devoted to the 1996 welfare reform bill and its impact on the states in 1997.
