Also known as the "Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996."

Congress did a lot of fascist things in 1996, and this is one of them.

This law must be repealed.

I don't know what people are supposed to do if they work and still need welfare, and their 5-year limit has run out.

Dick Morris, Clinton's principal political advisor at the time, claims to have told him, "sign and you win, veto and you lose."

Dick Morris was an idiot.

A more accurate statement would be "sign and you win; veto and you win by more."

Individuals need three years to find a job? That's an absurdly long amount of time.

Ever been to Kentucky? Three years isn't long enough. About 25 years would be more like it.

He used the popular aspects of the Contract With America, and popular aspects of the Republican party platform,

What popular aspects?

It is absurd to blame the poor and powerless for this violence that has been committed upon them.

Yet conservatives continue to blame them anyway.

But then again, conservatives are pretty absurd, so I guess we shouldn't be surprised when they do and say absurd things.

The things that led to the GOP landslide in 1994.  Tax cuts, welfare reform, etc.

What tax cuts? I paid much more in taxes in 1998 than in 1994.

While we're on the subject, people, is there any hope that this law might not be reauthorized, if the Democrats retake control of Congress?

Or are the Democrats going to continue to let themselves be bullied like they've been for the past 10 years?
