"Ending Welfare Reform as We Knew It"
I CAN'T see what this has to do with "stimulus".
I CAN see the points made by the National Review editors.
Hopefully, a future administration and congress will restore sanity once again...

The National Review's Editors state their opinion:
"Given that the states will receive $4 from the federal government for every $1 they add to their welfare budgets, even conservative governors will feel pressure to inflate their welfare rolls in order to wring every dollar they can out of Washington. And there are early rumblings about removing the already weak work requirements that rounded out the Clinton-era reforms.
The Democrats are stuffing years’ worth of legislation into their 'stimulus' bill. They are operating in the legislative shadows, evading scrutiny and debate, while enacting an expansion of the welfare state that would never survive a more considered process. "
