> LOL He stole it from the Republicans and incorporated it into his speech...He knew what the people wanted to hear. < That is so not right sandintoes. A lot of you Republicans will just throw any ole thing out there and expect that to make it so - or believeable. Don't tell me, the statistics prove it, right? LOL!!!! Clinton started with the granting of waivers to states. whitehouse.gov By granting federal waivers, the Clinton Administration allowed 43 states -- more than all previous Administrations combined -- to require work, time-limit assistance, make work pay, improve child support enforcement, or encourage parental responsibility. The vast majority of states have chosen to build on their welfare demonstration projects approved by the Administration. He asked for the welfare reform in his 1996 State of the Union Address. whitehouse.gov STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS U.S. CAPITOL JANUARY 23, 1996 I challenge this Congress to send me a bipartisan welfare reform bill that will really move people from welfare to work and do the right thing by our children. I will sign it immediately. whitehouse.gov July 28, 1997 National Governors' Association Address PRESIDENT CLINTON ADDRESSES THE NATIONAL GOVERNORS' ASSOCIATION IN LAS VEGAS Today, President Clinton traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada, to address the 1997 National Governors' Association Annual Meeting. The President's remarks focused on the partnership between the states and the federal government and highlighted the two elements both parties must work on together to keep America on the right track -- we must continue to move forward on welfare reform and make sure our children have the world's best education. Largest Drop In Welfare Rolls In History: Beginning with President Clinton's granting of waivers to 43 states, through his continued commitment to welfare reform evidenced in his signing of the 1996 welfare law, the states and the federal government are accomplishing welfare reform together. Now there are 3 million fewer people on welfare than when the President took office -- 1.2 million fewer since the President signed the welfare law.
