Focuses on the staples of American welfare system such as Medicaid, Food Stamps, Head Start, WIC, and public housing. This book maintains that these programs form an effective, if largely invisible and haphazard safety net, and yet they are the very programs most vulnerable to political attack and misunderstanding.
