- W2476536161 abstract "In 1996, Congress passed and President Bill Clinton signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, a law that ended the very idea of a federal “entitlement” to welfare benefits for the poor. Specifically, the law established stringent work requirements in return for welfare, and set strict new limits on the amount of time an individual family could receive cash relief. Many commentators have described in detail the debate leading up to this “reform” (or repeal) of welfare, and explored the racist and misogynist fantasies that inhabit its margins: the threatening specter of the so-called welfare queen, the endlessly repeated claims that welfare merely subsidizes crime and illegitimacy in inner-city ghettos.1 Here, I observe more simply how both the intention and the effect of the 1996 bill is, more than anything else, to compel welfare recipients to work—either directly (with so-called workfare) or indirectly (by removing a safety net of support). Indeed, at the time of this writing, the debate about the future of this so-called welfare reform focuses almost entirely on whether or not such work requirements should be made even more stringent. The plain fact that, as William Julius Wilson summarizes, there is “no conclusive evidence to support the prevailing common beliefs that welfare discourages individuals from working” (William Julius Wilson 163), indicates clearly that something else is at work in this obsessive concern for setting the poor to labor." @default.
