I used to think "reform" meant improvement. Now, I realize it means I should run the hell away. In any event, whether he campaigned on welfare reform or not, I am relatively sure that most Democrats who heard that did not realize it would soon translate to bragging about having ended "welfare" as we know it.

This is one of the reasons I am not too impressed that he left a "modest budget surplus" when he left office. Between all the tax and fee hikes of the Reagan administration and a famous one of Poppy "Read My Lips" Bush's adminstration and ending welfare as we know it, a modest budget surplus was not, IMO, a huge accomplishment. And it was on the backs of poor adults and children.

Now, if we can also cut Social Security and medical care for the disabled as well, we'll be fantastic "pragmatic centrists," won't we?
