Kim Bui's List: Social Justice Research

• The waiver would allow the state to gradually reduce welfare benefits of people who have received welfare for four years and to continue benefits for families in which one parent holds a part-time job.

  • So those who have had welfare for a long time would get cut, and the money would go to single parents...

• • tax sodas so money goes toward welfare for obesity
• Soda and other sugary soft drinks are the only beverage or food that has been shown to increase the risk of obesity
• too many Americans don't get medical attention because they lack health insurance, or don't qualify for assistance

  • don't have money to get insurance
• A tax, depending on its size, would decrease consumption of a disease-promoting drink by 1% to 15%

  • taxing sodas would hopefully discourage population from buying, therefore eventually eliminating the need for welfare for obesity...if above statement is true.

• My brother and I both worked at Burger King to pay the rent.
• A bunch of his friends moved in and next thing I knew, he lost his job and I was trying to support all these adults. I couldn't do it. This is where my homelessness began

  • Why did he lose his job?  What happened to him afterwards?
• being in the building but not in class
• Two-thirds are below grade-level

  • Below because they don't have time to do homework and because their life is too stressed out?

• American workers have consistently given us rising productivity
• Declining wages, less than one-fourth as many new jobs as in the previous eight years, smaller health care and pension benefits, rising poverty, and the biggest increase in income inequality since the 1920s
• Welfare Reform Act in 1996, requiring able-bodied people who could work to do so
• Federal law required coverage of poor mothers and children, but the states set the monthly benefits
• A study published in 2001 by a Clinton critic who had predicted social disaster and then quit the Clinton administration in 1995--showed a remarkable effect of welfare reform: The number of children living with single parents dropped by 8% in the five years after the bill was passed. "The percentage of all black children raised by married parents jumped from 34.8% to 38.9% during the period studied, a 10% increase in just five years."

  • Awesome!
