英语翻译
What to do about the poor and needy is a concern of every government.The U.S.is not
exempt from this concern,but care for its poor has changed over time.Until the Great
Depression of the 1930s,state and local governments inAmerica bore some responsibility
for providing assistance to the poor.However,such assistance was minimal at best.
The New Deal policies of President Franklin D.Roosevelt included new federal
initiatives to help those in poverty.With millions of people unemployed during the 1930s
economic depression,welfare assistance was beyond the financial resources of the states.
Therefore,the federal government provided funds for maintaining a minimum standard of
living,either directly to recipients or to the states.
Between 1935 and 1996,federal programs were established that provided additional
welfare benefits,including medical care,public housing,and food stamps.By the 1960s,
however,criticism began to grow that these programs discouraged people from finding
employment.Even defenders of public welfare benefits acknowledged that the system was
imperfect:noting the financial disincentives associated with taking a low-paying job and
losing the array of benefits,especially medical care.

对于如何解决穷人的问题,是每个政府关心的头等大事.美国政府也无不例外,但其对穷人的资助方式已经发生了变化.直到20世纪30年代的美国大萧条,美国各州政府及当地政府都为穷人承担一些责任,提供一些资助.然而,这些资助是越少越好的.
美国总统富兰克林 罗斯福的新政策,包括新联邦政府主动资助穷人这项政策,随着20世纪30年代的经济大萧条,国内几百万人的失业问题,资助远远超过了州政府的财政资源.
因此,联邦政府直接向穷人或者州政府提供为维持群众的基本生活资助.
1935年到1996年间,联邦政府确立了为穷人提供额外福利计划,而这些计划包括了医疗保健、公共住房以及食品救济券.然而,到了60年代,不开始有批评指出这些计划会让人们不再想找工作.
即使维护公共福利的人士承认福利系统是有不完善的地方：他们注意到金融政策上一些不利于经济发展的因素,如因低薪工作而失去一系列的福利,提别是医疗保健的.
