Mr. Speaker. the Republican plan for welfare reform has five pillars: Welfare reform should not be a way of life. we should have work. not welfare. we should not pay welfare to noncitizens and felons. we should return power and money to the States. and we should restore personal responsibility. Unfortunately. the Presidents plan has no time limit as far as how long you can get welfare. no real work requirement. It continues to pay noncitizens and felons. and it has maximum Federal control. not States rights. Mr. Speaker. what we need to do is be concerned about the welfare recipient.
