1. Why does Congress now feel trapped by the Social Security program? How could one claim that Social Security was actually the result of client politics in its early years but has become more a majoritarian issue as tax rates have increased? How did the 1983 Social Security legislation attempt to salvage the fiscal integrity of the program?
2. Why couldn’t the recipients of AFDC protect their program? Who determines what is politically legitimate in the United States? What are the implications of that power for government and for policy-makers?
3. Have the 1996 welfare reforms responded to the public criticisms? Have they responded to the problem of poverty within the society?
4. What has been the role of public opinion in the political battles over welfare policies? What do Americans believe about the role of government in social-welfare policies?

Why do so many of you judge people who have State Aid, without knowing the siuation?Yes, there are alot of people who abuse it,but theres also alot who dont,and honestly need temporary help because of hard times.I want to know because I have gotten alot of ignorant comments from people.And automatically people say, Im paying for it,they are taking my tax dollars.Thats not always the case.I was about 8 months pregnant when my husband fractured his skull,broke his collarbone,had internal bleeding, and a fractued sternum from an accident.We had no choice,but to get all the State Aid we could.I worked 8-10 hours everyday until my water ruptured with one breal on my feet all day long.Before the accident my husband worked 60 hours a week doing construction.He just went back to work,now working 60-70 hours a week.Even with the aid,we lost just about everything because of an accident,not because we were looking for a free handout.We both bust our butts at work,and have paid well into it.

Because the constitution equalizes the three branches, It is difficult to fight for power. The presidant (From what I learned) has no power to eliminate the Judicial or Legeslative branch. But if the presidant goes power mad and tries to become a dictator, what would he/she have to do without ending up in court and getting impeached or even banished from the country.
