What do Republicans want in place of welfare?
Interesting. What about the impact on poverty rates?
The impact of these proposals on poverty rates is a topic of debate among policymakers and economists. Supporters of welfare reform argue that a stronger emphasis on work would help reduce poverty by providing people with the skills and opportunity to support themselves. Critics, however, argue that job training and other programs might not be enough to lift people out of poverty and that cuts to welfare programs could end up harming vulnerable populations.
