Oh please. Welfare is as big as ever.
Oh please. Welfare is as big as ever.
And how does that relate to what it would be without the 90’s cuts? At best, you’ve given a partial score. Welfare may be as big as ever but could easily be twice again as big without the cutbacks. Or had we not taken Congress away from the Dems for the time we did in the 90’s. And I don’t mean the binge spending of the GOP as personified by Boehner (leader of the coup against Gingrich) under the compassionate conservatives.
I new a good woman on Welfare in 1995 and she had two children. The program found her a job that paid more money than welfare and had a child care provision built in while she was working. She was very proud to tell me she was an administrative assistant at a local law firm. It worked. Those programs are gone now.
