Yep, I love seeing such clean posting. Seldom get it on the RW threads. Right on.
<< | Many liberals, like Daniel Patrick Moynihan, also believed that some Great Society programs, like open ended welfare for single mothers, did great harm to blacks and in particular the black family. Clinton's mid-nineties welfare reform tried to correct some of these problems.
Moynihan's assertions were widely, seriously, and, in my view, soundly disputed in a very large literature in the 60s. I'm surprised anyone beyond ideological conservatives still assert them. But, then, you never know.
As for Clinton's attempt, it's fair to say that Clinton was politically trapped into those "reforms." Whether he wanted to sign or should have signed those bills, was more than controversial. There were several resignations from his administration over that. |
