“Gov Tommy Thompson did this once before and the welfare rolls dropped drastically in Wisconsin late 80s early 90s.”

I knew someone did that before and I was trying to think who that was - it was Thompson,thanks for knowing the name.

Rudy did it in NYC with "workfare."
OVERNIGHT, more than a third (half?) of welfare recipients in NYC evaporated when it went into effect.

And Clinton based HIS welfare reforms on those Governor Thompson made in Wisconsin.

But that was in a whole ‘nother LIFETIME ago. *SIGH*
