Related: About this forumBill Clinton’s Horrible Policies DESTROYED Black Communities
It seems like Bill Clinton is on the defensive where it comes to his welfare reform law in 1996. What’s the truth here? Ring of Fire’s Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins discuss this. Tell us your thoughts in the comments section below.

“Everything Bill Clinton said Thursday to defend his 1996 welfare reform law was false.
Clinton claimed that he left the program with plenty of money for poor people, suggested that it helped reduce black poverty and that it was only the mean, nasty Republicans from the George W. Bush era who gutted it and hurt the poor. Clinton’s distortions of economic history and his own record are so outrageous that — you will be shocked — it is difficult to believe he was being honest. “
