A Poverty Topicality Rubric
July 13 2009 by Stefan Bauschard
After a discussion with Michael Antonucci, I have created a “T rubric” through which I will attempt to classify cases that will be discussed in a lecture in the morning on cases that have been written at camps to date.
1) Cases that increase social services through programs that are exclusively designed for those living below the federal poverty level.
Prisons?, PO Boxes for the homeless (people w/o perm address), Runaway homeless, vehicle asset test, unaccompanied minors, Community Block Grants.
2) Cases that increase social services through programs that are largely designed for those living below the federal poverty line/those living in poverty (people who fear writing “in poverty” in their plans
(Head Start, Early Head Start, Abortion funding, Legal Services Corporation?, Block Grants?, Lifeline & Link up, Abortion funding (can depend on the plan), Queers in poverty, Socialism, Medicaid (immigrants and expand), Wyman, Food distribution programs on natives, veterans in poverty
3) Cases that generally increase social services but have the plan text say "for those living in poverty" or "for those living below the federal poverty line." (people who fear losing on T – and some probably would)
Military education, citizenship for those in the military, marriage promotion, community mental health care, food stamps, military mental health, Disabled, Head Start version, Block grants, CAL marriage plan, Remove welfare restrictions , Medicaid waivers, kill citizenship requirements for social services for those living in poverty
4) Cases that increase social services for programs where only a small percentage of impact people live below the poverty line
(Medicare, Supreme Court abortion (could go in category # 3)
5) Cases that address populations that largely live in poverty (or we suspect they do) without an explicit targeting or income eligibility provision
(Tribal Law & Order Act, Wifi,
Social service problems
Citizenship requirements
Tribal Law & Order Act
(tribes can’t sentence for more than one year, can’t prosecute non-Indians, attorneys keep records of every tribal lands prosecution)
