It's not contrary to what I say... the feds are incompetent too and waste MORE money... they are further away, and have less chance of knowing what's really going on. The feds were perfectly capable of dispersing benefits to those who met the qualifications. States can't seem to manage that now and they are much "closer" to the problem. State case workers sitting face to face with clients (how close do you need to fucking get?) must obviously be aware that many of these recent hires are making near poverty level wages and fall under the elligibility rules. So why have the feds threatened to cut off some states completely if they don't push the money out the door? Why the law suits? Why millions of dollars in unspent health care, child care and food stamp money that might make the transition from welfare to work easier and successful? Give me a good reason why the above is taking place if states are so close to the problem, because the only reason I can think of to explain it is the greater incompetency of state administration.
