Roscoe Bartlett: “President Clinton has become the maybe man. Maybe he will end welfare as we know it, and maybe he will not. Maybe he…”

“President Clinton has become the maybe man. Maybe he will end welfare as we know it, and maybe he will not. Maybe he will sign the waiver for Wisconsin's welfare reforms and maybe he will not. Should we trust what Clinton says or should we judge Clinton by what he does: Delay, waffle, and when inaction is not an option, veto. The President has vetoed national welfare reform not once but twice. Congress has introduced new welfare reforms based on the unanimous recommendations of the National Governors' Association. These reforms have tough work requirements, have real time limits and end Washington's grip on the power, money and influence to block innovative reforms by the States. Considering welfare reform and President Clinton, will the third time prove the charm or will the President strike out?”
