A study released today by the non-profit organization Public Agenda, shows that 93% of the general public, and 88% of welfare recipients, want the current welfare system changed. The study, "The Values We Live By: What Americans Want from Welfare Reform," also finds that 4 in 10 Americans say that they or someone in their close family has received benefits at some time. Robert Siegel speaks with the study's author, Steve Farkas, Vice President and Director of Public Agenda.
