Haneefah Khaaliq: Ensure that those who truly need food stamps can get them

I will support the Food and Nutrition Service for the purposes of ensuring that those who truly need food stamps can get them. President Johnson began the war on poverty to measure and eradicate it. Johnson called for "the richest nation on earth" to win the war on poverty by assisting American families with incomes too small to meet their basic needs. This War on Poverty created robust welfare programs which I believe should be maintained and supported. Source: 2021 IN Senate campaign website HaneefahKhaaliq.org Oct 5, 2021

Jim Carlin: Goal of welfare system should be keeping families together

Our welfare system needs to be rethought and turned upside down. It penalizes parents who stay together. It fails to lift people out of poverty. It snares too many into a cycle of dependence too often lasts for generations. The goal of welfare and public assistance should be to keep families together, quickly get the needy to back on their feet and to a place where they are no longer dependent on the government for help.
