\t\t\t\t— Blogger Eve Tushnet (sounds like a porn site, doesn’t it?) writes sagely on welfare reform for her day job:<\/p>\n
National Catholic Register<\/a> —
\nEloise Anderson, director of the Program for the American Family at the Claremont Institute, former food-stamp recipient, and former welfare administrator in Wisconsin and California, noted that many people on welfare have a complex set of problems that existing programs are not equipped to handle. Such people, she said, belong in “child protection or mental health or alcohol and drug programs,” not in a welfare office.
\nLike many observers, Anderson believes the 1996 reforms focused on mothers but not neglected fathers. “There’s a whole slew of programs that are designed to help the custodial parent go to work,” she said. “Those same programs should go the non-custodial parents.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe next phase of welfare reform will focus on undoing the damage to family structure the system has done for the past three generations, which means we’re just getting started.
