Current programs have encouraged dependency. trapped people in unsafe housing. and saddled the poor with rules that are antiwork and antifamily. Clearly. those trapped In poverty and the taxpayers deserve better. This bill overhauls our broken welfare system. This plan makes sure welfare is not a way of life. stresses work not welfare. stops welfare to noncitizens and felons. restores power and flexibility to the States. and seeks to half the rise In illegitimacy. By imposing a 5year lifetime limit for collecting AFDC. this bill guarantees that welfare is a helping hand. not a lifetime handout. Recognizing the need for helping true hardship cases.
