“Welfare” has gone through many changes over time. In 2014, the War on Poverty turned 50. Take a look at this report from the CATO Institute as well as the lesson and course reading and answer the following questions: Have the programs worked to reduce poverty?

Be sure to bring in additional scholarly sources to balance your analysis. Stay on the topic of the discussion. This week, that is an analysis of welfare.
