Felicia Kornbluh, Prof of History & Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies at the Univ of Vermont, discusses 20 years of deepening poverty since Pres. Clinton shredded the Welfare safety net. The legislation that established Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), made limiting women's choices and ending single motherhood its goals. The nation's chief policy dedicated to impoverished families with children did not include mitigating poverty, enhancing opportunity, or attenuating inequality as its goals. As a result, while welfare rolls have declined, poverty still stalks single mothers & their children – and extreme poverty is at crisis high levels. Produced by Sprouts.
