“it is time to tell the truth about our welfare system. It is not the system that it was designed to be. It is not temporary help for those who are down on their luck. It is a bureaucratic nightmare that has trapped generations of Americans into a cycle of dependency. It is no secret that the welfare system has failed miserably. It does not provide a hand up. It is nothing more than a handout. Americans across the country, including those who receive welfare, are sick of the failed system. We should face the problem and fix the system. Republicans have offered serious proposals to reform welfare, but those on the other side of the aisle are offering nothing more than distortion in a desperate attempt to defend a failed system. That is not what the American people elected us to do. They elected us to fix a broken system. It is time to reform the welfare system.”
