re: #421 Aceofwhat?

Ok. Good. In general, with a few exceptions, it was a primarily Republican effort that received a little Democratic help and definitely got help from Clinton.

Credit where due.

So what about the deafening cries from the ’90s that this was Republican’s evil triumph over the poor? It’s literally All. We. Heard.

I mean, how can welfare reform possibly HELP the poor if we’re reducing benefits? Truly, it boggles the mind.

(PS - i picked 2006 because Cheney wasn’t running for any office, had nothing to prove. You should read Arthur Brooks sometime…

Because welfare needed reforming. Where is the problem? People are better served by a more efficient system, right? That is different than the GOP as an entity working for the corporations and against the individual. I thought the GOP was all about the individual.
