Jason Smith said "This article found that child poverty in the U.S. has fallen by more than half, 59 percent, since the early 1990s. When President Clinton signed the 1996 welfare reform bill implementing time limits and work requirements, the far left predicted terrible effects. Twenty-five years later, these predictions have been proven wrong. The simple fact is work requirements worked. Caseloads dropped, and families moved into the workforce and left the cycle of dependency. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
