I guess, just having listened to the four of you, the conclusion that I have come to, looking at these charts and graphs--and correct me if I am wrong--is that basically we have a kind of a safety net for people who are unemployed, who have been working and they go on unemployment insurance, but we don't have a safety net for people who basically don't have a job and depend on TANF.
Moore highlights the lack of safety net for those dependent on TANF.
