Today, I'm honored to be joined by Leslie Ford, adjunct fellow at the American Enterprise Institute Center on Opportunity and Social Mobility and senior fellow with the Alliance for Opportunity.

We discuss:

1) The history of the war on poverty, how safety net programs evolved, and where the war on poverty stands today;

2) How safety net programs can discourage upward mobility and keep people trapped in poverty through penalties such as those on marriage; and

3) Data on what requirements help safety net recipients achieve long-lasting self-sufficiency and prosperity, and more.
