| Abstract
|
:
|
Changes in welfare programmes since 1996 have transformed the way America cares for its poor. For every dollar spent on cash welfare payments, 20 dollars are spent on service programmes targeted at the working poor. This text examines the system and the role that geography plays in the system's ability to offer help.
