I'm excited to read this series as it comes out. I don't think most people realize how challenging compliance costs can be for people working or with childcare responsibilities. Supporters want recipients to work to get the benefits, but the new rules require people to stop working to verify the benefits.
I am always surprised when people learn that more rules lead to a bigger government. Rules require enforcement and the recent staff cuts at some of these agencies wont help.

Great post! Are you familiar with Sunstein and Thaler’s “sludge”. It’s the companion to their “nudge.”
Yes. Good book to read.
