Let us look for a moment at the real world. In a recent article in the Washington Post. reporter Dan Balz described the new economic realities better than any statistics can. His article concerned the thousands of new American migrants who have been arriving in Texas from the North and Midwest in search of Jobs. Mr. Balz writes: These newcomers are now found increasingly in pawnshops. hocking their few possessions to buy a meal. in soup kitchen lines in the inner cities of Houston and Dallas. huddled in brokendown campers near a downtown park. at the unemployment offices applying for outofstate benefits. at the churches along the Interstate highways that flow from the north. seeking emergency food assistance or money to fix a broken car. at the welfare office asking about benefits. at child welfare homes asking someone else to care for their children because they have been unable to find work.
