The substitute before us now is a much more effective means of facilitating and rewarding independence. The Mink substitute emphasizes work and education. improves child support collections. and invests in child care assistance for lowincome working parents. It also invests in nutrition programs. and in health coverage to protect the wellbeing of mothers and children. It encourages work by investing in real training. It does not discriminate against taxpaying. legal immigrants by denying them benefits. And it does not punish children by imposing an arbitrary cutoff of benefits. This substitute would result in real opportunities for those currently receiving assistance instead of arbitrarily penalizing those in need.
