This paper argues against maintaining or increasing funding for a myriad of federal programs such as Low-Income Home Energy Assistance, Bilingual Education, OSHA, and Federal Regional Education Laboratories. Additionally, the authors advocate that Congress should use NLSY data to evaluate the effectiveness of the Head Start program across a wide range of outcomes (e.g. cognitive, socio-emotional, behavioral, and academic development of its participants) while controlling for such factors as family background and the mother's IQ and level of education.
