[quote=Anonymous]I’m getting to the point where I think it’s better to just give poor families more cash. You need to help the parents to help the kids, so help the whole family by giving them more cash. Then the kids do better in school when the family isn’t so stressed. I think that’s the reason why FARMs is one of the few programs that worked. It focused on the child’s well being and in some ways helped the parents too. The expanded child tax credit seemed to be helping, so maybe do more of that. By all accounts it seemed to be doing more to lift families out of poverty than anything we’ve done in years. Other things have a tendency to get bogged down in waste, corruption, and bureaucracy with TANF being the poster child. Scrap it and turn it into a child tax credit. Make new ideas prove they are more beneficial than giving families direct cash.[/quote]
