Progressives are equal opportunity employers of welfare meant to grow government dependence.
Moynihan did not just want to get rid of welfare, he wanted to replace it with a GAI of one type or another. This was proposed by Richard Nixon.
GAI is welfare. It was tried before and failed. That's why Nixon backed off from the proposal.
If I remember correctly, the no father requirement was a give back to conservatives to be able to pass the enabling legislation.

Actually, Federal welfare is a giveback to Progressivism. There is actually no enumerated power in the Constitution to provide federal welfare income to anybody. Federal welfare began under the hyper-Progressive FDR administration.
