    Ok just by the title alone I'm confused. I received tanf in the past. I was a very young single mother of 2. It was 2004. I was given $118 per month. I wasn't able to have any income or I'd lose my assistance. My child support was also taken away when it was actually paid by their father to pay back the tanf. This is how I had to live until my youngest daughter was a few months old and was able to get child care assistance. I know for me tanf was basically like a Payday advance. It wasn't a grant, it was definitely a loan. Again, this was Indiana 2004.

      You were not allowed income because the government wanted you to be completely reliant on them for your financial future. This would make you much more likely to vote for a bigger government to continue assisting you. Interesting don't you think?

      $118 a month and no additional income? Any job at minimum wage job ($5.15 at the time) would have given you the same amount of money at 22 hours per week, 25 if you had to pay taxes in the 10% bracket. Simply working a 40 hour week would have benefited you more. Programs like this are only meant to tie you over for a few months as you find other work. It should not be used for 2 consecutive years as the video indicated one could. It should be like an advanced as it is not free money. You borrowed money from your statesmen in a time of need. It was available for you to stay afloat. You should pay it back. I don't see anything wrong with that.

      @@radamh I wasn't able to work at the time. i would have come out in the red waiting for child care assistance. at the time i had 2 small children, daycare cost 75/week per child and there weren't many jobs i felt i could do that would work me during daycare hours. it's fine to require the money to be paid back, but A: state that up front and B: how is taking away my child support good for my family? a small wage garnishment would be more reasonable rather than just taking every last penny of the money intended to help me pay for my kids until the state is paid back.
      also something people don't know about tanf: i could only ever get support for the children i had at the time of my first application. people always talk about women making babies to keep that welfare coming in. idk about everywhere, but that doesn't happen here.

    I'm curious if the work requirements finding on poverty goes both ways. That is to say if there's no difference to poverty level with and without work requirements, does that also mean not having the work requirements would not change the poverty level? So if the purpose of having hte program is to fight poverty, wouldn't that mean it's a failure on that front?

    • @radamh

      The purpose of TANF was never to reduce poverty. Using that as a metric would seem to be unfair.

For the longest time it wasn't "proper" for women to wear pants and a "proper" tie was 5 inches wide, not to mention those ridiculous giant white wigs men in government had to wear because.... it was proper?

    Like any good business leader, when the funds begin to dwindle, instead of making more assistance available, they devise ways to reduce the cost to the program rather than the cause of the need in the first place. Put an idiot in charge of economic issues and watch our country slip further behind the rest of the developed world in quality of life.

    If people could work and earn sufficient income to live decently, they would. There is a very low percentage of grifters (most of them like Brett Favre, and not actually needy families). Have you seen the process to get people back to work??? It’s a f**king joke. Sending random listings for low- and no-skilled jobs to random recipients like the act of sending job listings does anything. And somebody is getting paid to do this. Meanwhile, if a company hires someone from this pool, they get paid, too. Want to see waste in public spending? Look at all the “qualifications” Republicans have enacted to prevent people from actually getting help. How much would we save, how much more good would we do if we just gave the needy the money and left out the obstacle course???

    So the TANF work requirements decreased the number of people receiving welfare and increased the number of people working. How is that NOT a good thing? In other words, why should the goal of a welfare initiative be to KEEP people on it?

    • @jpisello
      @jpisello 6 лет назад +10

      Keeping people on TANF is not the goal. The question is what the goal should be. Should it be simply reducing the number of people receiving it, or should it be to help those people get out of poverty so they can become productive members of society. Those two things are not equivalent, and simply barring people from receiving TANF (through structural barriers) does nothing to help people get out of poverty. I don't see how it's a win for anyone to have a large underclass of chronically poor people.

    • @danieljensen2626
      @danieljensen2626 6 лет назад +15

      The people were still living in poverty. If you just shut down the entire TANF program less people would be on it, but that doesn't mean people are magically benefiting. More people working is good, but to some extent they may be taking worse jobs to make ends meet and they'll be prevented from pursuing an education or other opportunities that would both benefit them and make them a more productive member of society in the long run.
