Discussion Questions
DQ
1 Discuss three of the
nine major forms of benefits and services in the U.S. social welfare system,
referred to on p. 95. For each of the three forms, provide an example of when
you think that benefit or service might be positive and when it might be
negative. Think of examples other than those provided in Ch. 5.
DQ
2 Imagine there is a
local welfare agency that exercises consumer sovereignty by giving a specified
amount of cash to a family to use for food. The family is eligible for the
amount, but the agency does not follow up to make sure the family spent the
money as allocated. Explain why this practice is ineffective from the agency's
perspective as well as from the family's perspective. How might you advise the
agency to help it improve its allocation policy?
