Nothing Bill Clinton said to defend his welfare reform is true (Required reading)

[zentrum]

5. As I understand it….

….the program hurt the poor even before the bubble burst. The problem was that Clinton turned the decision about allocation of benefits, over to the states.

Well, not to sound too "regionist" about it—but you can guess what happened to people in the South. The conservative, often racist State officials who hate Welfare, especially aimed to penalize poor, head-of-household women with children.

How's that for feminism? This is the real definition of what Billary means by "compromise" (with the rightwing), "realism", and "getting things done".

If you really want to deal with welfare, start with income inequality, access to education and training, and reparations.

Still Slick Willy.
