From the e-Activity and the text, imagine a scenario where the government could only provide support for either housing or food. Make a case for government support for one over the other. (Note: There are helpful statistics located on pages 256 to 261 of your textbook.) Predict whether or not Milton Friedman would agree with your proposed position. Provide a rationale for your response.
According to the textbook, Bill Clinton re-defined welfare by creating the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. TANF's key feature was its temporary nature.
