First. let me make one attempt. one final attempt. to interject some sanity into this debate about the future of mothers and their children. We can accomplish welfare reform without abandoning poor children. If this government cannot agree to that. it will agree to nothing. Both the House and Senate versions of this bill would decimate the food stamps program. both would unduly restrict benefits for legal immigrants. The proponents of this legislation are clearly driven by two impulses. neither of which is reforming welfare. First. they are eager to balance the budget on the backs of poor children rather than tackle corporate welfare.
