While you give President Clinton credit for signing the the welfare reform bill (and I give him that credit too)....are you aware of the FACT that it even EVER came to be...... was because Newt Gingrich's "Contract with America" congress passed it and Clinton merely signed it (finger held to the wind of public opinion) because he could hardly do otherwise?
I could care less who or why it came about. I referred to Clinton because it gives a timeline as to how long it has been reformed.

I agree with several points you made, the lifetime thing got to me, because it's just not accurate.
