Ezra Klein addresses a question I was just asking the other day, Is welfare reform working?. "Fifteen years ago today, President Bill Clinton signed welfare reform -- also known as the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program -- into law. The obvious post to write today is, “is it working?” But that raises the question: what do we mean by “working”?"
It's certainly reduced the rolls and costs, but it's also covering a lot fewer people.
