This is like calling for the arsonist to clean up after the fire.

There are absolutely problems with our welfare systems because of consistent underinvestment in IT capacity (see also IRS at the federal level), but lets be real: a lot of this dysfunction was a deliberate choice by Republican leaders. They broke it.

Here is my idea for staffing any task force focused on state welfare systems:
*Find people who want to make these systems function
*and have the expertise to do so

Tons of other ideas about *how* to fix the problem, but at least start by with real problem-solvers.
