|
|

| Passage of the bill to raise $11.9 billion in new taxes and make spending cuts in accordance with the fiscal 1988 budget resolution.

The bill would appropriate $5.7 billion over five years for education, training and work for welfare recipients with the federal government (i.e., taxpayers) paying 65% of the cost. Although the bill has been described as a "workfare" type program, the effect of this program is merely an expansion of the welfare state. | |||||
