A Rural Perspective of Welfare Reform: Part II—Proposals

G. William Hoagland

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1980, vol. 02 RDP, issue 2

Abstract: Excerpts from the article: Incremental welfare reform strategies have superseded broad comprehensive welfare reform initiatives of the last Congress. The Administration's Program for Better Jobs and Income (PBJl) introduced in the last Congress has been replaced by the Administration with a new incremental reform proposal. The PBJI met with a fate similar to the Nixon Administration's comprehensive welfare reform proposal introduced in the late 1960's. The comprehensive approach to welfare reform has once again been replaced with less expensive—and expansive—proposals designed to cure some basic problems of the current welfare system.
