County welfare directors are "in shock" at the very idea of getting rid of CalWORKs, which has been widely viewed as one of the most successful social programs in the state's history...

Which begs the question: Successful at what...?

The source article in the Sacramento Bee said that the number of people on it have dropped by half to 525,000 families per month since the Republicans crammed welfare reform down Clinton’s throat (my description, not theirs). I wonder if the staff on the program dropped by half, or if they kept the same number of employees for half the work.

Very sucessful in bankrupting the state at light speed.
