1 Discuss three of the nine major
forms of benefits and services in the U.S. social welfare system, referred to

2 Imagine there is a local welfare
agency that exercises consumer sovereignty by giving a specified amount of cash
to a family to use for food. The family is eligible for the amount, but the
agency does not follow up to make sure the family spent the money as allocated.
Explain why this practice is ineffective from the agency's perspective as well
as from the family's perspective. How might you advise the agency to help it
improve its allocation policy?
