On the recordJuly 31, 1996
2 years and you are out is not a bad proposition in and of itself, but in this bill it relies on that tried-and-true adage if you give a man a fish you may feed him for a day, if you teach a man how to fish he may feed himself for a lifetime. In this bill, only 50 percent of those 2-years-and-you-are-outers can reasonably expect any chance at training. In this era of personal responsibility, this legislation asks our most vulnerable citizens to do more, but our States are being required to do less. This is not the best we can do, and it is not the best we can afford. I urge a no vote.
