Several public policies have attempted to do this. The most recent federal policy,Temporary Aid to Needy Families, is the first to impose actual time limits on families receiving welfare. Welfare was never meant to be a lifelong subsidy; it is meant to fund families who are in economic distress and is meant to be temporary. The United States is a country that depends on economic growth..the ideal is for more people to work and contribute to the tax base and fewer people depending on the tax base. Of course this depends on people having access to education to health care, education, transportation and child care. High schools need to quit spending an inordinate amount of time preparing students to pass standardized tests and spend more time helping students to develop vocational skills for a competitive market. Certainly academic preparation is important, but all young adults need to know how to find, get and keep a job.

Which specific Welfare to Work policy do you wish to discuss?
ABAWD. Able Bodied Adults without Dependents was put into place to ensure that people would not become dependent upon the government for Food Assistance. This was a policy put in place during the Clinton administration to combat homelessness. The thought was if you only gave people without kids, 3 months of help and then for them to continue receiving benefits they would have to go to work. Once working, they would then get a little help until they were no longer in need of assistance.
FBCP, the federal benefit cap program was to stop people from having more kids simply to get more welfare. There was a misconception that women simply had more kids to get more benefits. So any child born during certain time frames cannot receive cash benefits.
LIBL. Lifetime Benefit Limit is all about making parents get jobs. Right now if you have a mother with a child, they can get a the welfare for two. But after 3 years, they only get the benifts for one. The Mother will be kicked off. This is supposed to spur the parents into finding a job. If you lose your benefits, you are supposed to get a job.
There are hundreds of other programs out there to encourage people to work. These are only 3.
I can tell you that among those that adminster the welfare programs. Republicans write the welfare reform laws and Democrats interpret them, and along the way, those needing help don't get it.
Let me know if you need information about a specific program.

Black people were doing to well so steps were taken to break up the black family. Did you know 90% of black children were born to married couples prior to the introduction of modern welfare? Did you know black men enjoyed an unemployment rate equal to white men before the 60s?
