Current Events » in reply to Clinton mentioned welfare reform in his campaign for president (thought it is fun to watch you squirm to avoid giving him credit for it)

Yeah, I checked. You're right.

Dug up Clinton's 1992 nomination acceptance speech.

An America where we end welfare as we know it. We will say to those on welfare: You will have, and you deserve, the opportunity, through training and education, through child care and medical coverage, to liberate yourself. But then, when you can, you must work, because welfare should be a second chance, not a way of life.


Vetoed a few reform bills, though.

The rest of the "New Covenant" is interesting, too. Doesn't sound much like what the Democrats are saying lately. Also a lot of uncomfortable references to God and Scripture...
