Addressing an issue of burning interest to every taxpayer, a
Heritage Foundation scholar brings objective analysis to bear as he
responds to the important-and provocative-question posed by his
book's title. Of course, the answer to that question will also help
determine whether the American public should fear budget cuts to
federal social programs. Readers, says author David B. Muhlhausen,
can rest easy. As his book decisively demonstrates, scientifically
rigorous national studies almost unanimously find that the federal
government fails to solve social problems. To prove his point,
Muhlhausen reports on large-scale evaluations of social programs
for children, families, and workers, some advocated by Democrats,
some by Republicans. But it isn't just the results that matter.
It's the lesson to readers on how Americans can-and
should-accurately assess government programs that cost hundreds of
billions of dollars each year. At the book's core is an insistence
that we move beyond anecdotal reasoning and often-partisan opinion
to measure the effectiveness of social programs using objective
analysis and scientific methods. At the very least, the results of
such analysis will, like this book, provide a sound basis for
much-needed public debate.
