The Foundtry – Robert Rector and
Kiki Bradley – 7/12/2012
Bill Clinton promised welfare reform
when he ran in 1992. He delivered in 1996. Now Obama has gutted
it.
But wasn’t the law a law? How can he
overturn it? Be redefining it. The Heritage Foundation
reports.
Today, the Obama Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) released an
official policy directive rewriting the welfare reform law of
1996. The new policy guts the federal work requirements that
were the foundation of the reform law. The Obama directive bludgeons the letter
and intent of the actual reform legislation.
Today the Obama Administration
issued a new directive stating that the traditional TANF work requirements can
be waived or overridden by a legal device called the section 1115 waiver
authority under the Social Security law (42 U.S.C.
1315).
Through a technical trick, Obama has
killed Clinton
The process is arcane. It
deliberately overcomes Congress’s desire in 1996.
The results will be clear, and very
soon: the welfare rolls will grow. States will have to pay more to welfare
mothers. The mothers will not have to seek jobs.
