Today, I'm honored to be joined by Leslie Ford, adjunct fellow at the American Enterprise Institute’s Center on Opportunity and Social Mobility and a senior fellow with the Alliance for Opportunity. We discuss: 1) The history of the war on poverty, how safety net programs have evolved, and where the war on poverty stands today; 2) How safety net programs can discourage upward mobility and keep people trapped in poverty through penalties such as those on marriage; and 3) Data on what requirements help safety net recipients achieve long-lasting self-sufficiency and prosperity, and more.
