The welfare "reform" of the Clinton era consists of two major elements: a revolutionary change in the basic goals set by the federal government; and a dramatic "devolution" of responsibility – turning what used to be a federal, centralized system over to the states. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv...re/welfare.htm

As a governor, President Clinton was a strong proponent of the Family Support Act, but he campaigned for the presidency on a pledge to "end welfare as we know it." Legislation embodying the details of his plan was introduced in 1994 as the Work and Responsibility Act. It built on the Family Support Act philosophy by investing still more in education and training but set a two-year time limit, after which welfare recipients would either have to work or lose their benefits. http://www.urban.org/publications/306620.html

The Clinton welfare reform plan: Will it end poverty as we know it http://ideas.repec.org/p/wop/wispod/1037-94.html

If DinoDoc knew a damn thing about what he was talking about then he'd know that Gingrinch and company wanted to simply eliminate welfare lock stock and barrel. Clinton scored a major political victory by urging welfare be reformed instead of simply eliminated. DD, stop being a partisan tool and open a history book then maybe you'd know this sort of stuff. Or at the vary least learn to shut the hell up about things you know nothing about.
