Rep. Tom Reed (R-Corning)<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

WASHINGTON – Members of the GOP controlled house of representatives unveiled what they are calling their \u2018anti-poverty\u2019 agenda<\/strong> Tuesday<\/a> in Washington.<\/p>\n

Congressman Tom Reed<\/strong> (R-Corning, NY 23), provided some basic details of the plan on Monday during his weekly conference call with reporters, saying that the plan would help working families and those struggling in poverty.<\/p>\n

Reed said the agenda will focus on three main initiatives, which include assessing the current welfare system to identify its effectiveness in various regions and community of the country, refine the social benefit system so that it no longer incentives people not to work, and improving education programs that help American learn new skills and trades so they can be work-ready.<\/p>\n

Reed said the plan is a great start to getting solutions in place that will help create the opportunities for American\u2019s on welfare so they can achieve financial stability and independence.<\/p>\n

“We have not been able to move the needle on poverty across America and we need to do better. We need a system for the 21st century,” Reed said. “I’m excited to be part of the leadership team on this anti-poverty agenda coming out of the house. We’re going to do what we can to get these reforms proposed, put out there for debate, and ultimately enacted into law.”<\/p>\n

The proposal is a result of a task force established by Speaker Paul Ryan<\/strong> in February.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
