Though conservatives often lament the welfare mess in the harshest terms, they have offered few realistic and workable alternatives. Senator Barry Goldwater, in The Conscience of a Conservative, advocates turning all welfare over to private institutions?an 18th century solution for a 20th century problem. His onetime adviser, Economist Milton Friedman, and the Senate's newest prominent conservative, James Buckley of New York, both favor a modern concept, the negative income tax.
