That is a terrible piece of analysis (sorry, but its true).
In summary - Wisconsin cuts welfare entitlements through "tough love". Number of welfare families drops to 10%. Minnesota's caseload drops over a (not really) similar period, despite picking up all its neighbours welfare recipients.

Pretty much on target CamB, let me add a little personal history. During that peroid I used to visit my sister in Madison WI twice a year for about six years on end. I saw the city being destroyed by the imigration of people from Illinois (Chicago). I'm not saying any right or wrong here, racism or whatever - they had to do something drastic and everyone could see why. It became no longer safe and far from beautiful in some areas overnight because WI's welfare handouts were more generious than it's nearby neighbor to the south. Poverty is not pretty, but it's the values some people have which make them truly poor.
