"Unnecessary dependency is not just unwise, it is a moral question."

"We have taken over that responsibility, and I think we need to be very careful about how we provide programs to families."

"If we are really interested in self-sufficiency and upward mobility for children and for families, is waiving that work requirement something that is going to get us to a positive end?"

"the answer simply is not to remove the safety net and say we are not going to do anything on jobs, but to build those ladders of opportunity back for our families across America."
