In the past four years, welfare rolls in Athens Country have been cut in half. But 70 percent of the people who left in the past tow years took jobs that paid less than $6 an hour. The result: The Athens County poverty rate still remains at more than 30 percent—twice the national average.
For advocates (代言人) for the poor, that’s an indication much more needs to be done.
“More people are getting jobs, but it’s not making their lives any better,” says Kathy Lairn, a policy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington.
A center analysis of US Census data nationwide found that between 1995 and 1996, a greater percentage of single, female-headed households were earning money on their own, but that average income for these households actually went down.
But for many, the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as well without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory.
“Welfare was a poison. It was a toxin (毒素) that was poisoning the family,” says Robert Rector, a welfare-reform. policy analyst. “The reform. in changing the moral climate in low-income communities. It’s beginning to rebuild the work ethic (道德观), which is much more important.”
Mr. Rector and others argued that once “the habit of dependency is cracked,” then the country can make other policy changes aimed at improving living standards.

At 1800,the hydraulic steering system failed once again.The master realized he would require shore assistance to rectify the problem,and diverted towards Portland using the thruster to steer by.The weather at this time was south-south-west force 5.At about three hours later,the thruster drive unit failed due to a leaking fuel injector pipe on the power unit.This was replaced using the spare carried on board.Immediately following the engine restart,an adjacent fuel line failed causing shut down of the unit.With no fuel line spares available,the thruster power unit could not be used.The failure of this unit,and that of the main hydraulic steering system,left the vessel without any steering capability.
At 2155,with the weather deteriorating and no steering,the master contacted the Portland Coastguard and a“Pan pan”message was broadcast.A tow to Portland Harbor was arranged and she arrived alongside at 0240 the following morning.The subsequent investigation found that the main hydraulic steering system failure was due to a seized shuttle valve in the main hydraulic solenoid valve block.The solenoid valve had been recently overhauled.It was thought that the“O”rings fitted to the shuttle valve were of either the wrong type or a defective one.The valve had seized in such a position that hydraulic pressure by-passed the system preventing use of the hand steering.
