That's my rub. "Welfare reform" has just resulted in an increase in food insecurity and a continued expansion of the gaps in our socioeconomic system. Social welfare policies are supposed to work to improve the lives of the people. Welfare is prosperity. We should be helping people prosper, and none of the "reform" efforts have really done that. And note that I am saying help people prosper.
