The welfare of the United States has always been a matter of division. Most Americans believe that poor people should be helped by the government, but the same people will respond to welfare as a system to encourage rights, promote laziness, and create a sort of "recipient" . Government aid programs can go back to the postwar era, but until recently the public's resentment to government welfare spending has caused such controversy. Following Ronald Reagan's "Queen of Welfare", he exaggerated the myth about Charles Marie's "Failed Land" (1984), but there was a suspicious analysis of the policies of the 1990s, President Bill Clinton Changing the nature of government aid to poor people. Edin (Sociology and Public Health / Johns Hopkins University, co-author: I can keep my promise: why the poor lady gives up mothers before marrying 2005) and Shaefer (Social Work / University of Michigan) I am thinking about whether they could not receive a new government aid program or the assistance they received is not enough to make up for their low wage job and earn only 2 dollars per person to survive I could not do. As of 2011, more than 4% of families with children in the United States were categorized into this category and doubled in 15 years after welfare reforms in the 1990s. Interested in how these new poor survive, Eddie and Shepher travel to some of the country's most depressed areas, including Chicago, Appalachia and the Mississippi Delta. The authors are not usually their faults, they share a human-like story about ordinary people involved in poverty. Some people are victims of abuse and others are forced to withdraw from low wage work due to health problems and some people can not rest regardless of the rules .

$ 2.00 / $ 5.00 / $ 7.00 So far, many NGOs have claimed that $ 2.00 per day should be the lowest, but now we need to set as $ 5.00 per day; others will "Moral Defense Poverty Line" or "Multidimensional Poverty Approach - If these methods are used, you can generate up to seven dollars a day 2030, 2115 or 2222? SDG Agenda until 2030 Critics believe that this goal is impossible given the most optimistic growth rate and constraints of the environment Critics are trying to eradicate extreme poverty (1.25 dollars per day) As a model of, it is not realistic to "reduce" economic growth as the dominant development.

Given the important nature of the data and any weaknesses in this line, many people always insist that it is so basic, frugal and meaningless

Shaefer and Edin believe that this policy trend has resulted in an increase in the so-called "extreme poverty" defined by the family. And it earns less than $ 2.00 a day in what month. Extreme poverty increases are particularly noticeable among families with children, and between 1996 and 2011, the number of families with more than 3 million children has increased by 130%. Unfortunately, both major parties contribute to this result in their own way. Welfare reform in '96 gave a bad reputation for unconditional cash aid, and persuaded the generation of democratic reformers. The social plan "to become an ancestor" was good politics only to protect them from Republican attacks. As a result, there is an agreement to exclude cash assistance from the possible range.

Because of this tactic, economic inequality has risen to a level not seen since the "roar of the 1920s", the gap between wealthy people and the poor continues to expand. According to a new book "There is little life in the United States at 2.00 dollars per day", the number of people surviving at only 2.00 US dollars per day has more than doubled since 1996, with 5 million American families suffering from extreme It is put in poverty. On average, labor union workers earn 27% more income than non-trade union workers and are more likely to pay for sick leave and pension schemes. The labor union's workplace is safer and worker men and women workers can enjoy discrimination that is often overlooked in companies other than union. Most importantly, if the number of members is large, the possibility that workers will achieve American dreams is also true.
