Most states have succeeded in getting people off welfare and into productive jobs, but Gov. Ed Rendell has taken Pennsylvania in a different direction: Keeping people dependent on government assistance.
Pennsylvania spends $10 billion a year on welfare programs, a $4 billion increase since Rendell became governor in 2003.
Pennsylvania ranks No. 41 among the 50 states in the area of welfare reform, according to a new national survey. Check out "Welfare Reform: PA gets poor grades" at POLICY BLOG for more.
