Column The Republican Contract with America contains welfare reform proposals that include ending welfare for teenage unwed mothers and limiting duration of welfare benefits to five years. This type of welfare reform will increase personal responsibility and end welfare dependence.
Like Bill Clinton in recent days, the liberal Sen. John Kerry has spent the past few years bragging about his support for the historic 1996 welfare-reform bill. But neither is likely to admit that welfare reform, which has proved to be one of the most successful social-policy legislative acts in U.S. history, comprised a central plank in Rep. Newt Gingrich's 1994 "Contract With America. Welfare reform ultimately became law in August 1996, less than three months before Messrs. Clinton and Kerry faced the voters. At the time, a vast majority of Americans had become thoroughly disgusted with the self-destructive welfare policy that Democratic liberalism had embraced for decades, even as its direct consequences of social catastrophe were clear for all to see. The fact that real welfare ref...

Mark Warner stood on a stage in Buena Vista's Glen Maury Park and decried the "garbage" his political rivals had generated to lambaste him and his Democratic Party running mates. This kind of garbage that is coming out from the other side is nothing but false and misleading," said Warner, the Democratic nominee for governor. He waved a copy of a brochure that the Republican Party of Virginia had mailed to thousands of homes late last month. His GOP opponent, former attorney general Mark Earley, sat just a few feet away as Warner quoted from newspaper editorials that roundly criticized the mailer.

Euline Williams has heard all about Carl Paladino's "Dignity Corps," all about turning former state prisons into campuses where welfare recipients and the long-term unemployed would learn job skills and personal hygiene. Given that she had to work to earn her $160 a month in welfare benefits before landing a job as a health aide, she's a little confused by what the Republican candidate for governor is suggesting.

In 1974, three years after the welfare reform bill was passed, there were 850,000 fewer persons in California on family welfare and general assistance programs than projected by legislative experts in '71.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following Fact Sheet on the "Contract with America" was released today by the Republican National Committee: Eleven years ago, a group of men and women gathered together to lay out a positive agenda for a stronger, more prosperous and more compassionate America. Some called these men and women foolhardy. The American people called them the new majority. Republicans have maintained our majority because we've remained true to the Contract's goals. Today, as we confront new dangers in the world and challenges at home, Republicans proceed with the vision of a better America that is epitomized by the 'Contract With America.'" - - Ken Mehlman, RNC chairman
