    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the importance of state governments to the stability of the U.S. Strong states create a strong nation and provide many outlets for pressure, tension and innovation within our governmental system. The nation's welfare program is stronger because of state-federal cooperation. The 1996 shift from an entitlement program to the current Temporary Assistance for Needy Families block grant system showed that the federal government had faith in the states.
