Whatever happened to the welfare reform bill that Clinton signed? Wasn't it supposed to limit them to 2 years of "benefits" and shouldn't some of them be coming off welfare by now?

It was 5 years cumulative for your lifetime (i.e. go on it for a year, go off for 2 years, go back on for another year, etc. until you hit 5 total. Then you're done.) And it allowed a state to exempt around 20%(I think) of its recipients, so they could be on it permanently. Many people are at the end of their alloted 5 years and I've been seeing some of the handwringing articles appear.
