1 Federal versus State and Local Control of Welfare Spending Introduction The issue of welfare support from the government has always been a big talking point in the history of the United States of America. Be it the federal, the state or the local levels of the government, it is an issue that has always crept in during electioneering periods1. In past presidential elections candidates like George Wallace, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan received widespread support from groups that were anti welfare in nature. Most of the members of these groups are most often blue-collar workers from the south and Catholic voters from the North. In order to understand how best to be able to interpret and understand the different perceptions that people across the entire nation, across all levels of government have concerning welfare, this research paper will look into what exactly are the emotive issues and how they affect welfare spending.
