The Connecticut senator says he plans to pick up where former President Clinton left off and cut the poverty rate to the lowest in history.  Lieberman's plan calls for expanding Individual Development Accounts. Those are special savings accounts that match investments dollar for dollar on the condition that proceeds be used to buy a home, invest in a small business, or upgrade education.  He also says he wants to increase the earned income tax credit and take the next steps of welfare reform by increasing child care funding and expanding aid for legal immigrants.  In South Carolina, one in seven adults, and one in five children, are living in poverty. » Find More Articles Related To This One Copyright 2004 WCIV, LLC.
