On the recordSeptember 20, 2012
I yield myself 30 seconds only because the gentleman referred to me. I will just say that the issue that he refers to was actually to extend the work requirements to other programs, which actually would have increased the work requirements. Let me just say, I'm glad my friend brought up the fact checkers, because The Washington Post fact checker calls the Democrats' claims of increasing work ``a stretch,'' stating that it is not clear that ``the net result is that more people on welfare will end up working,'' and actually gave the ``eloquent speech'' by President Clinton my friend referenced two Pinocchios for saying that it would increase work by 20 percent. At this time I would yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Paulsen), a Member of the Ways and Means Committee.
