Joseph Knollenberg: “do you remember who said ``I will change welfare as we know it''? The answer to this question is not a $64,000 question.…”

“do you remember who said ``I will change welfare as we know it''? The answer to this question is not a $64,000 question. In fact, we all know who said it: The same individual who said that the era of big government is over, except we want it to last a little longer. I wonder what the President really meant, or was it just another one of his hollow promises? I do not blame my friends on the other side of the aisle, because I know pretty much where many of you stand. You said where you stand. You have been honest and straightforward about it. Many of you want to spend more money. I understand that. Many of you are less concerned about the inefficiency and the nonproductiveness of some of these plans. I simply want to know where the President stands, not what he says. Is it candidate Clinton who wants to change welfare as we know it, or is it the current President who has vetoed every major reform? Then again, it is an election year.”
