Eligibility Requirements T 1NC
INTERPRETATION
1. Increase means to grow in number.
Merriam-Webster, July 2, 2009 (Increase, http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/increase, Date ofAccess: July 2, 2009)
1 : to become progressively greater (as in size, amount, number, or intensity)
2. Social services are programs.
Helen Ross McNabb Center, Inc., 2008 (For 60 years, the Helen Ross McNabb Center has been providing out-patient mental health care services, Social Services, http://www.mcnabbcenter.org/services-programs/social-
services.html)
Social services are programs designed to help strengthen families and protect the most vulnerable ofsociety including children, the mentally ill, the disabled and the elderly.
B VIOLATION
The aff just removes eligibility requirements to give expanded access to social services that already
exist, instead of increasing the number of social service programs.
C STANDARDS
1. Limits. There are thousands of ways to modify eligibility requirements for social services. Our
interp limits the amount of cases to those that increase the number of programs, which limits affs
to a predictable set of cases in the literature base.
2. Ground. The aff doesnt increase social services, but changes them. Harder to get DA links all
non unique when youre just expanding programs and we cant offer a CP to change eligibility
requirements that would test the word increase.
3. Education. Their interpretation is bad for learning about increasing social services. We focus on
pre-existing social services that are changed to accommodate different people, rather than new
social services.
D VOTING ISSUE fairness and education

Socialism T 1NC
A INTERPRETATION
1. Social Services are specific benefits or opportunities to raise people out of poverty.
Vijay Luthra, 2009 (the head writer of the Business Dictionary, Social Services Definition,http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/social-services.html, Date of Access: July 1, 2009)
Benefits and facilities such as education, food subsidies, health care, and subsidized housing provided by agovernment to improve the life and living conditions of the children, disabled, the elderly, and the poorin thenational community.
B VIOLATION
The aff team doesnt limit its social needs to the benefits provided the social services. Instead
they provide services for all possible social needs.
C STANDARDS
1. Limits. All possible social needs explodes the topic to an infinite number of needs- neg cant
get links to all of them
2. Ground. The aff provides more than social services by meeting all social needs. We lose CP
ground since we cant test social services as a mechanism for reducing poverty and lose K
ground against social services.
3. Brightline. No way to tell what cases are topical and which are not if the plan directs toward
all possible social needs.
4. Education. Their interpretation is bad for learning about social services. We focus on all social
needs that may plague impoverished needs, rather than those that can be possibly satisfied by
governmental social services.

Socialism T 2NC Extension
Extend our limits standard- the aff explodes the number of potential affirmatives
Social needs include a need for friends and love
Maslows Hierarchy of Needs, 2007 (Internet Center for Management and Business Administration, Inc., 2007,Maslows Hierarchy of Needs, http://www.netmba.com/mgmt/ob/motivation/maslow/)
Once a person has met the lower level physiological and safety needs, higher level needs become important, the first of which
are social needs. Social needs are those related to interaction with other people and may include:
* Need for friends* Need for belonging* Need to give and receive love
Love, friendship, and belonging interact to form millions of possibilities through which the aff
exploits the neg team. Our interpretation limits social needs to those that can be satisfied by the
benefits provided by social services. We dont learn anything about social services and raising
people out of poverty; instead, we focus on the emotional needs of the impoverished.

A INTERPRETATION

The Milwaukie Center, 2004 (facility devoted to providing programs and services, North Clackamas Parks &Recreation District 2004 Master Plan, https://scholarsbank.uoregon.edu/xmlui/handle/1794/4056)
Social services include programs such as financial planning, health clinics, outreach services, andsupport groups.
2. Increase means to grow in number.
Merriam-Webster, July 2, 2009 (Increase, http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/increase, Date ofAccess: July 2, 2009)
1 : to become progressively greater (as in size, amount, number, or intensity)
B VIOLATION
1. Marriage promotion services are not a social service
2. Incentivizing marriage through welfare is extra-topical and doesnt increase any social services.
C STANDARDS
1. Limits. The aff explodes to an infinite number of services they can give funding for anything
such as soloist tuba players who also play the piano. Our interpretation limits the aff to a set of
predictable cases involving an increase in social services, not marriage promotion.
2. Ground. Neg cant be expected to have links to extra-topical actions. We lose CP ground to test
alt causes to poverty

A - INTERPRETATION
1. Increase means to grow in number.Merriam-Webster, July 2, 2009 (Increase, http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/increase, Date ofAccess: July 2, 2009)
1 : to become progressively greater (as in size, amount, number, or intensity)

The Milwaukie Center, 2004 (facility devoted to providing programs and services, North Clackamas Parks &Recreation District 2004 Master Plan, https://scholarsbank.uoregon.edu/xmlui/handle/1794/4056)
Social services include programs such as financial planning, health clinics, outreach services, andsupport groups.
B VIOLATION
1. The plan only makes more people eligible for tax credits, which is monetary assistance, not new
programs
2. Eliminating the vehicle asset test in federally funded support program is extra-topical and
doesnt increase any social services.
C STANDARDS
1. Limits. There are thousands of ways to modify eligibility requirements for social services. Our
interpretation limits the amount of cases to those that increase the number of programs, whichlimits affs to a predictable set of cases in the literature base.
2. Ground. Neg loses all DA ground cant expect us to have links to things other than social
services. Extra-topicality makes us lose all CP ground because anything outside the resolution is
neg ground.
3. Education. We dont learn anything about social services and raising people out of poverty as
the resolution requires.

Military T 1NC
A INTERPRETATION
The aff must only increase social services for persons in poverty.
B VIOLATION
1. The plan provides citizenship, not access to social services.
2. The plan makes access to social services contingent on a military service.
3. The plan proves social services to persons not in poverty.
Thousands of illegal immigrants are well above the poverty line
John Buchanan, Reuters, Feb 6 2008, Illegal immigrants grown rich fret over US deportation laws,http://www.livemint.com/2008/02/06233340/Illegal-immigrants-grown-rich.html
Many illegal immigrants in the US are manual labourers on low wages. But theres another group that attracts much lessattention: entrepreneurs who have set up businesses, created jobs and grown affluent .There are up to 20,000 illegal immigrants earning upward of $100,000 (Rs39.6 lakh) a year asentrepreneurs, and their existence challenges the stereotype that illegal immigrants are a drain on the USeconomy, according to immigration lawyers and academics.
C STANDARDS
1. Limits Making social services available through an extra-topical mechanism and
contingent on an extra-topical action explodes the number of potential affs.
2. Ground- The different permutations of mechanisms and contingencies are impossible to
predict- the aff gets advantages off of unpredictable actions and steals neg CP ground
testing the increase of social services.
D VOTER ISSUES
For fairness and education- severing the advantages is too late.

A country of central and northwest North America with coastlines on the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Itincludes the noncontiguous states ofAlaska and Hawaii and various island territories in the Caribbean Sea andPacific Ocean. The area now occupied by the contiguous 48 states was originally inhabited by numerous NativeAmerican peoples and was colonized beginning in the 16th century by Spain, France, the Netherlands, and England. GreatBritain eventually controlled most of the Atlantic coast and, after the French and Indian Wars (1754-1763), the NorthwestTerritory and Canada. The original Thirteen Colonies declared their independence from Great Britain in 1776 and formed agovernment under the Articles of Confederation in 1781, adopting (1787) a new constitution that went into effect after 1789.The nation soon began to expand westward. Growing tensions over the issue of Black slavery divided the country alonggeographic lines, sparking the secession of the South and the Civil War (1861-1865). The remainder of the 19th century wasmarked by increased westward expansion, industrialization, and the influx of millions of immigrants. The United Statesentered World War II after the Japanese attack (1941) on Pearl Harbor and emerged after the war as a world power.Washington, D.C., is the capital and New York the largest city. Population: 302,000,000.
The United States is the area where the US government has overall jurisdiction in.

Poverty
Poverty is the deprivation of basic human needs.
A Dollar A Day, 2006(research project by Thinkquest veterans to explore poverty around the world, What isPoverty? http://library.thinkquest.org/05aug/00282/over_whatis.htm, Date of Access: July 1, 2009)Some people describe poverty as a lack of essential items such as food, clothing, water, and shelter needed for proper
living. At the UNs World Summit on Social Development, the Copenhagen Declaration described poverty as acondition characterised by severe deprivation of basic human needs, including food , safe drinking water ,sanitation facilities, health, shelter, education and information. When people are unable to eat, go to school, orhave any access to health care, then they can be considered to be in poverty, regardless of their income. To measure povertyin any statistical way, however, more rigid definitions must be used.
Poverty is a lack of basic human needs.
The World Bank,2009(family of five international organizations that aim to eradicate poverty worldwide, Understanding Poverty,http://web.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/TOPICS/EXTPOVERTY/0,,contentMDK:20153855~menuPK:373757~pagePK:148956~piPK:216618~theSitePK:336992,00.html, Date of Access: July 1, 2009)
Poverty is hunger. Poverty islack of shelter. Poverty is being sick and not being able to see a doctor . Poverty is nothaving access to school and not knowing how to read. Poverty is not having ajob, isfear for the future, livingone day at a time. Poverty is losing a child to illness brought about by unclean water . Poverty is powerlessness ,lack of representation and freedom .Poverty has many faces, changing from place to place and across time, and has beendescribed in many ways (for a collection of readings, seePoems and Personal Accounts of Poverty). Most often, poverty is a situation people want to escape.So poverty is a call to action -- for the poor and the wealthy alike -- a call to change the world so that many more may have enough to eat, adequate shelter,access to education and health, protection from violence, and a voice in what happens in their communities.
Poverty is a condition.
