Bill Clinton actually said...

"I am determined to work with Congress to achieve real, bipartisan welfare reform."

"But if Congress sends me this conference report, I will veto it and insist that they try again."

"The Republican budget cuts in Medicaid and the earned-income tax credit would undermine real reform and penalize people who choose work over welfare."

"Americans know that welfare reform is not about playing budget politics; it is about moving people from welfare to work."
