“But the sad fact is, by failing to end welfare as we know it, this President again has ensured that the safety net becomes a hammock for the very people who should be at work. Indeed, as the gentleman from Georgia is well aware, again in this election season, last Saturday the President of the United States chose to talk about real welfare reform that is being instituted in the great State of Wisconsin under Gov. Tommy Thompson. But the interesting thing is that President Clinton, while granting a couple of waivers to Wisconsin for revolutionary changes in that system, when Wisconsin wants to make further changes, he endorses the general concept but he has yet to come across with the real waivers. I champion our colleagues on this side of the aisle from Wisconsin who earlier today challenged the President of the United States to extend those waivers needed to take the next rational step in real welfare reform in Wisconsin.”
