American RadioWorks - Ending Welfare in Wyoming
In 1996 President Bill Clinton signed the landmark Welfare Reform Bill, killing the 60-year-old welfare program known as Aid to Families with Dependent Children, or AFDC. The new law gave grants to states to run their own anti-poverty programs and required them to move many welfare recipients into the workforce. Wyoming, more than any other state, ended welfare after 1996 by cutting its cash assistance roles by more than 90 percent. But Wyoming's leaders are now having a different debate: how to...
