Welfare Reform Welfare. Whether you collect it, or you pay for it (and for EVERY working American does one of the two), most citizens of our country are familiar with it. Yet as every second of every day passes, more and more taxpayer's money is being allotted to this growing epidemic called welfare. The Personal Responsibility Act, signed by the President, was a monumental change in welfare as we know, or used to know it. The welfare system is still in need of a more strict and stringent policy reform, yet the Personal Responsibility Act was a prodigious step in the right direction. In the past few years, the federal governments and state governments have tried to change and improve the welfare system. The Clinton Administration campaigned to "end welfare as we know it." The Administration's proposal limits AFDC benefits to two years, during which employment services would be provided to recipients. Nearly 20 welfare reform bills have been introduced in the 103rd Congress. Besides the above mentioned bill, three major proposals were offered by Republican members: The GOP Leadership Welfare bill, The Real Welfare Reform Act, and The Welfare and Teenage Pregnancy Reduction Act. Now the Republicans have pulled together a strong and controversial bill on welfare welfare, work, afdc, states, bill, programs, benefits, year, school, recipients, mothers, government, years, payments, about, required, program, out, children, time, give, drug, state, under, receive, people, must, hours, high, establish, block, billion, week, paternity, one
