The Carleson Center for Welfare Reform

The Carleson Center for Welfare Reform The Carleson Center for Welfare Reform (CCWR) promotes proven policies and educates about welfare reform.

The Center will:

- Recognize the need to build upon past results and promote innovative approaches to reform our increasingly burdensome entitlement programs;
- Work to extend the success of the 1996 welfare reform design to other federal programs, in particular Medicaid;
- Endorse efforts to stimulate economic and job growth through proven practices and policies. Guiding the agenda of the Carles

on Center are veteran policy advisors to President Reagan — people who understand the dangers of micro-management — who have the experience and knowledge to help us return to policies that have been proven to work. Specifically, moving federal control of welfare programs to the states, and structuring our tax system to encourage economic growth and personal freedom. The Carleson Center will originate policy recommendations as well as endorse those of other entities. It will conduct independent, nonpartisan research on reforming a range of domestic spending programs with a focus on welfare and other entitlement policy. Through concise reports, commentary and proposals it will offer constructive advice to halt destructive policies and to reform public spending priorities based on the principles of federalism, limited government, responsible tax policy and free markets.

"Who among the Founders knew that would add zero after zero to the debt without blinking an eye and even without a declared war going on? If you’re prone to vertigo, you might want to avoid peeking at the fast-moving U.S. National Debt Clock on the Web." http://ow.ly/IPcQb

One of the biggest drags on economic growth under President Obama has been Obamacare, enacted on a strictly partisan basis in 2010. That drag has come primarily from the sweeping overregulation of Obamacare.

"Based on data from the Census Bureau, America already spends nearly four times as much on welfare as would be necessary to bring all of the poor up to the poverty level in cash, eliminating poverty in America entirely!" http://ow.ly/An6My

"Americans today no longer understand what the gold standard means, or involves. That can be ascribed to poor education, and intellectually debased national media, which lack the foundation to even discuss the subject intelligently." http://ow.ly/A1q5H

"The only argument for catastrophic, anthropogenic, global warming now rests entirely on climate models, which not only have never been validated, they have been falsified now by the almost 18 years of no global warming, which more recently has trended towards global cooling. Spare me the comments by pop tarts, all of whom turn out to be on the government payroll. Too many alarmists have now admitted as much, and it is even being discussed now in the socialist party press." http://ow.ly/zxxGD

"Before America dropped off the gold standard in 1971, long term real economic growth averaged nearly 4%. At that long term growth rate, our economic production would more than double after 20 years. After 30 years, GDP would more than triple. After 40 years, a generation, total U.S. economic output would nearly quadruple. Nothing could be more important for the middle class, working people, and the poor, then reestablishing that long term rate of economic growth. Yet, Obama and his economic policies have America limping along at barely half that." http://ow.ly/yYq8S

"Hamilton boosted America's economy first by advancing legislation for the federal government to assume and pay off the debts of the states, establishing the foundation for America's historic creditworthiness. That was recognized by America's AAA credit rating for over 200 years, until 2011 when the relentless spending of the Obama Democrats led to the first credit downgrade of the nation in history." http://ow.ly/ympXL
