On the recordMarch 7, 1995
I will say to my friends in the Democrat Party you had 40 years to bring welfare reform to the floor and you never brought it; you had 40 years to bring a child support bill to the floor that was tough, and you never did it. Now we are looking to you and we are reaching out to you as we are to the President, who gave a speech within the last hour on welfare reform, we are reaching out and saying come now and join with us because we are moving it forward. We are going to have welfare reform. It is going to pass this House. We are going to have a lot of Democrats that are going to be joining the Republicans who are pushing this agenda forward. And you know what? We are going to be doing things for the poor that you never did. We are going to be doing things for the children that you neglected and we are going to reform welfare.
