Hillary, as First Lady, advocated strongly for the restructuring of welfare. Her former co-workers at CDF, on the other hand, were infuriated. CDF founder and President Marian Wright Edelman declared that President Clintons signature on this pernicious bill makes a mockery of his pledge not to hurt children.
Hillary Clinton is an old friend, but they are not friends in politics, the CDF president told Democracy Now in a 2007 interview. At the time, CDF profoundly disagreed with the forms of the welfare reform bill, and we said so, Marian Wright Edelman explained.
Three senior officials on welfare policy resigned from the Clinton administration in response to Bill and Hillarys scrapping of welfare. Peter Edelman, a legal scholar who at the time served as an assistant secretary at the Department of Health and Human Services, told The New York Times, I have devoted the last 30-plus years to doing whatever I could to help in reducing poverty in America. I believe the recently enacted welfare bill goes in the opposite direction.
