“the President's decision to sign this welfare reform bill is really great news for working Americans and for people in need. The welfare bill will really reform and empower the States to be creative in solving their own problems and it will help end the cycle of dependency and poverty, which really truly helps millions of children with a decent fulfilling future. As a former mayor, I know firsthand these ideas work because we had pilot programs in our area where we were moving people out of public housing and into home ownership and off of welfare with child care help and really giving them their dignity back again. It is a sin not to help someone who genuinely, truly needs that help through no fault of their own, but it is also a sin to help people who do not need help. So this bill is going to encourage that personal responsibility that we are all so proud of and give people their dignity back.”
