On the Baltimore Sun podcast "Roughly Speaking with Dan Rodericks," SSW Professor Michael Reisch and Rodericks discussed President Trump's order of an audit of federal welfare programs.
Dan's guest: Michael Reisch, an expert on social policy, professor at the University of Maryland School of Social Work and a one-time resident of public housing in New York.
Reisch explores why many Americans who in some way benefit from the social safety net -- or have it as backup -- believe that it’s rife with fraud. A letter from a Sun reader in western Maryland provides Exhibit A of that attitude.
