Supplemental Security Income

choosing to eliminate one of three vital welfare programs due to their being no option for reconstruction of any one of these programs. Options at hand for removal include Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Although all of these are vital, however I am recommending the elimination of the TANF due to circumstances that cause it to be essentially less crucial than the other two programs. Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) is a program that supplies grant funds to states to provide families with financial assistance and other related services such as job preparation and work assistance. However, each state determines the benefits it will provide to the individuals therefore varying benefit amounts across participants. In addition, payments are made on a temporary basis and individuals are unable to collect benefits for more than 5 years.

The topic that I have chosen to explore is the controversy over paying college athletes. Personally, it was an idea that had not crossed my mind often, but after giving it more thought, there is some sense to the proposition. It’s an issue that has been debated for years, and as times change and the world progresses, more opportunities are presenting themselves to help back up each side of the controversy. I’m interested in exploring this controversy, because it is not a topic that I’m exactly…

Despite the minor changes, the American Dream has always sought out to be about social mobility, equality, and equal opportunity. However, it was never attainable for everyone. Individuals that were not White, male, heterosexual, landowners, slave owners, educated, wealthy, well-connected faced intentional, institutionalized and marginalizing hardships. Such discrimination prevented them achieving the so-called American dream which contradicted the founding principles which America and the…

raised as to what cost to the surrounding businesses and local economy. Casinos are much more than gambling. They provide other amenities such as dining, lodging, shopping, and concert entertainment. Generally, the winnings that one would receive would be spent at the casino and not out in the economy. Local businesses begin to lose profit because these services are available and more convenient when they are in the same location. “Connecticut casinos are self-contained little cities,…

With the majority of welfare recipients either unemployed or minimally employed, and recent “welfare-leavers” in low-wage positions with no benefits or skills, the notion of self-sufficiency is unreal.
