Reagan has sometimes been referred to as the "teflon president" because scandals surrounding his presidency seem to have no effect on his individual popularity. is this a valid assessment of reagan and his presidency?

This is a valid assessment of Reagan and his presidency.

Reagan has been described as a mysterious political Teflon because his popularity and presidency resisted routine criticism did not seem to affect his individual presidency. Nothing negative seemed to negatively impact his popularity

the reason the welfare system causes so much of a burden on its recipients is because the welfare system does not give its recipients any real tools to actually get out of poverty. the welfare system has embedded poverty deeper into society and has made it harder and harder for people to escape poverty.

in other words, it stoped the poor, and now its making it worse.

hope this . : )      

and im sorry it took so long for your question to get answered
