Problem
The argument that an "adequate standard of living" is a constitutional right, endowed by the Creator in the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; has been debated since humans first assisted other humans. The historical position on the interpretation of this has shifted numerous times. Present your position on the level of assistance appropriate in providing services to move toward self reliance. Include in your position; how to fund, and deliver, and the ultimate goal of the assistance. Provide a specific example taken from real life, in your discussion post. For example, use examples that might fall under the Community Mental Health Act or the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program.
