Rob Portman: “that is why there is more funding being provided for each welfare…”

On the recordMay 16, 2002

that is why there is more funding being provided for each welfare family, because as we provide those additional services, there is additional funding needed; and the underlying bill provides that. Yet it sticks to the basic formula that we know works, which is, again, helping people to help themselves and believing in people and trusting people, and understanding that every person has the ability to get on their own feet and to be able to provide for themselves and their families, and that is what they want to do.
