Programs
1. The video states that most middle-class tax payers
support federal budget cuts for social programs. Do you agree with
this statement? Why or why not?
2. Private programs for the poor include temporary shelters
and soup kitchens. What are the advantages and disadvantages of such
programs?
3. The video shows a woman with a number of skills who
cannot find a job. How does this woman’s experience illustrate how
the restructuring of the US economy has contributed to poverty?
