Welfare reform. What a hoot.
It was a wholesale fraud perpetrated on the American public.
The Welfare rolls didn’t diminish. We still have a massive Welfare presence in our nation. We’re spending half a trillion dollars a year on it. We’re buying peace with it, and we’re not getting what we are paying for.
There are insidious portions of it too. Do people realize that people who work one or two days per week are considered “employed”, do not appear on unemployment rolls, and are counted on the worker rolls.
This skews the jobs reports considerably. Folks think we have more bodies in the work force than are actually there functioning full time.
It’s all smoke and mirrors. I hope that Trump will lay this system to waste, end it.

Here's the secret sauce used for the premise of child poverty - From the report:
Child poverty overall fell between 1996 and 2014, after taking into account refundable tax credits and noncash benefits other than health coverage.
After including household heads live-in romantic partners in the family (i.e., cohabitation) as well, child poverty was lower in 2014 than at any point since at least 1979.
After also using the best available cost-of-living adjustment to update the poverty line and including health benefits as income, child poverty overall was lower by 5 percentage points in 2014 than in 1996 and is now at an all-time low.
And after partially adjusting these estimates for the tendency of families to underreport government benefits (a tendency that has been increasing), the child poverty rate in 2012 was just over 5%, compared with nearly 20% as indicated by the official poverty measure.
Here's for single parent child poverty:
Poverty among the children of single parents was at an all-time low in 2014 after including refundable tax credits and noncash benefits (other than health coverage) in income and counting household heads cohabiting partners as family.
After additionally adjusting the poverty line over time to better reflect the cost of living, and valuing health benefits as income, poverty among the children of single mothers fell by nearly 11 percentage points from 1996 to 2014. With the correction for underreporting (partial, because private sources of income remain underreported), the poverty rate among the children of single mothers was below 10% in 2012lower than the official poverty rate for all children has ever been.
It doesn't take into account abortions.
Obama waived the work requirements in the welfare to work TANF Act(Temporary Assistance for Needy Families ) in 2012.
Despite that, child poverty has fallen a ton ?
Then poverty in general must have fell a ton ?
So budget requests for welfare benefits will be reduced ?

And how many babies didn’t make it to childhood to be counted. . .how many didn’t make it out of their mothers’ wombs at all.

I’m so glad that the same Clinton administration had efforts to remedy ‘child poverty’ in 1996, after they demonstrated their ‘child immollation’ process in Waco, in 1993, the International Year of The Child.
