ABC's of present policy
up a jig saw puzzle.
with some ol the pieces
missing.
The puzzle is the eompli
rated result of federal, state
and local agency policies and
regulations.
The 1964 Economic Oppor
tunity Act, growing out of
President Johnson's War on
Poverty, became an opera
tional nightmare participated
in by a confusing process for
federal, state and local gov
ernment. Reluctance to come
up with tax dollars to match
Federal money in financing
local welfare programs has
often led to a policy of "no
service due to lack of in
terest” .
General and Special Shar
ing in replacing categorical
grants tends to be more
objective, but the "service
dependent on interest and
will power" still remains.
Present policy failure is
evidenced in that only 36%
of the 25.6 million poor re
ceive aid. and of those who
ilo. it is inadequate.
Aid
varies significantly from state
to state: it is paternalistic
and degrading; it offers no
incentive to work; and it is
an unlair burden on property
taxpayers and is leading cities
and states into depression
and bankruptcy.
Present w elfare policies
create a dependent and cyclic
effect. From 1959 to 1969.
3.6 million more persons ap
peared on relief (6.9 to 10.5
million), for a 52% increase.
Escalating costs show 3.7
billion dollars spent in 1959.
and 11.5 billion in 1969. This
is an increase of 211% for
federal, state and local miinirs
combined.
Money figures
are not necessarily signs of
failure, as they can be posi
live signs of responsibility.
However, the fact that third
and fourth generation wel
fare families are appearing
on the rolls is reflective of
cyclic welfare dependency.
XYZ's of proposals of a
Guaranteed Annual Incom«'
come down to variations of
the same theme - a com
prehensive form of money
assistance to all Americans
in need.

GAI proposals are labeled
as a negative income tax,
family assistance programs,
income supplements, and
graduated work incentives.
They all share one common
cause, namely that some
thing in the framework of
society must be overcome in
order to alleviate poverty.
Underlying GAI proposals
is the belief that poverty in
the midst of affluence is
indefensible.
On April 22, 1970, the
Catholic Bishops of the United
States assembled as the
United States Catholir Con
ference urged prompt enact
ment of the Family Assis
tance Plan. They contended
that the present welfare sys
tem has proven wholly in
adequate to provide either a
decent standard of living or
incentive to the "beneficiary"
families, but instead, is in
many cases counter produc
live and destructive of family
life.
G AI proponents believe
that man is essentially a
noble creature and with the
twentieth century he can
now be liberated from cor
rupt constraints of economic,
political and social institu
tions.
The 1969 Income Main
tenance Commission Report
staled a noble philosophy in
these words:
"Unemployment or under
employment among the poor
are often due to forces that
cannot be controlled by the
poor; the desire to work is
strong, but the opportunities
are not. Generally they are
doing w hat they can . . .
"Poverty is not a chosen
way of life.
Even tf the
existing welfare and related
programs are improved, they
are incapable of assuring
that all Americans receive an
adequate income. U'c have
therefore reommended the
adoption of a new program of
income supplementation lor
all Amerirans in need."
Most GAI minimum income
figures hover around a $ 1.00(1
figure for a family of four.
This is far short of the
government's ade«|uate in
come level of 17,100.
If a person works, his
$4.000 guaranteed income is
reduced by 50 cents for each
dollar of income earned. This
50 per cent formula then
provides an incentive to
work.
Estimates of governmental
cost run to an additional 20
billion a year.
This cost,
although only 2% of our
Board

advisors
A total of 79 students and
citizens are under considera
lion for appointment to one ?f

ory Committees in the Port

rently underway. Students

Education, which makes the
final appointments of both
students and adults. Students

government organizations in
the high schools of each area.

gross national product of one
trillion dollars annually, anil
less than half of the fifty
billion dollars added to our
economy growth annually,
has been considered too radi
cal by many politicians. This
political reality has ltd to the
compromised plan of Presi
dent Nixons Family Assis
tance Program.
The President's Fam ily
Assistance Plan does not fit
the comprehensive criteria of
GAL
The Plan is only a
guarantee for a few, as there
are too many eligibility re
strictions. Single people are
7 hursday, May 74, 197a
Page 5
ineligible and Ihe guarantee
is only $2.400. which is in
ade«|Uate and less than is
c u rre n tly paid by many
states.
Nixon’s plan is not reform,
except for very poor people
in some very poor states. It
also contains forced work
and training programs, eon
sidered impractical by com
mentators.
It would be a
start, but a poor one com
pared with need assessment.
Milton Friedman calls the
Nixon Plan, "a face lifting,
when we really need radical
surgery".
