Reply #3: The latest study I read [View All]

...admittedly from a few years ago but I doubt much has changed - was from NYC...and they couldn't find out WHAT had happened to a goodly # of people who used to be on welfare in NYC. They had just dropped entirely off the radar. HHS says "But Horn called it "very reasonable" to conclude that most people who got off welfare got jobs. He said that assumption is based on past studies." but any reasonable person is going to ask where are these jobs he thinks people are getting? And how one supports even one child on $5.25hr? Which is what many of the available jobs pay. The welfare reform act was a mean-spirited sop and one of the things I most hold against Clinton.
