Welfare Rhetoric

The Senate is planning to vote on welfare reform next Tuesday, and today, President Clinton, Bob Dole and Newt Gingrich all appeared on radio to stake out their positions. Clinton expressed his support for Senate progress on the plan, although he warned that if conservative voices prevail and the Congress walks away from bipartisan progress, welfare reform will die. Dole and Gingrich predicted welfare reform would pass.
