With Unemployment rates sky rocketing
, more and more Americans are struggling to make ends meet. In order to maintai
n a stable living situation many people resort to Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) as assistance to providing for their families. Welfare is an increasing necessity and many people still struggling with financial situations. The highest number of people in deep poverty was reported in 2005, meaning that our nation has to figure out a welfare system that will enable people to have a source of income while seeking a job.
Like Bill Clinton, the Obama Administration has tried attempts at a reform to poverty stricken people. Universal healthcare provides healthcare to people that could otherwise not afford it and new referendums for welfare have been put into place. Hopefully welfare is an issue that will be adjusted and new forms aid will be administered to create new flow of work to the poverty suffering population. Creating a much stronger nation with a positive future to come.
