At the beginning of her tenure, HHS had a budget of nearly $600 billion, which included a wide variety of programs including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Child Care and Head Start, Welfare, the Public Health Service, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). One of the countrys first Peace Corp volunteers, she served in Iran from 1962 to 1964.

This Americas Social Security Report deals with the relation between economic cycles and social
insurance. Needless to say, this is pretty much why we have social security. Many other goals often
related to the public discourse to pension, health, or unemployment insurance take a back seat to
the issues of massive employment loss, of increased uncertainty by families around their economic
ability to care for the old, the disabled and the children, and of the fear of facing a grave illness and
not being able to access adequate health care services.
The first chapter relates our times to those of the Great Depression. The historical
comparison shows two key differences: governments today are much better prepared to support
the national economy to deal with the recession, and social security provides a framework to avoid
conditions of excessive financial hardship to families. The second chapter discusses the reality
that current unemployment rates may continue to be an issue long after the current recession
ends. Long-term unemployment is a present danger for most countries in our region, and will shape
our economies for years to come.

In a new development regarding the ending of unemployment extensions for millions Americans, suddenly poor families with virtually no income face the loss of home, transportation and for some, even the loss of their children. In a startling development, indirectly caused by our social welfare system, families face separation or total loss of children to child protective services and/or other social service agencies. There are two ways parents are losing children according to Insider “Audrey” in California right now.
Breaking Up the Family to Receive more Benefits
Mothers are finding out and often encouraged by social service staff to leave their jobless husbands by offering them up to $800 per month in food stamps, VIP health care, free bus passes, $300 in Wic food supplements, Section 8 housing assistance, free day care and subsided higher education. It doesn’t pay to be married when you are “on the dole’. In a systematic assault upon the family, social service workers actively encourage married women to become “welfare moms”. Fathers are often left out in the cold, seeking employment wherever they can, threatened with jail by the district attorney and pressured to break the law with “under the table payments” to the wife. If he doesn’t comply, he loses all contact with the children.
Parents Forced to Give Up Children to Foster Care
In a system set up for failure, parents are encouraged and sometimes forced to give up their children
“temporarily” until they get back up on their feet financially. In a strange offer of charity, families are often willing to make space for children but unwilling to help their parents. What is left is a wholesale “hijacking” of parenthood due to current economic conditions. In some parts of Inland California, 25% of homeowners are not making payments. The banks are moving slow in the foreclosure process because they want to delay the waterfall of foreclosures to keep housing prices stable. When these banks begin a rapid pace of foreclosure we will see 25-30% of families ill prepared for an additional $1500 to $2000 expense of rent . We will see an explosion of suddenly poor families across America as these banks begin to foreclose and unfortunately a massive increase in the breakup of families.
