They said they could do more for less. better than the Federal Government ever thought it could. They went from Meet the Press. to committee hearings. to Nightline. saying to whoever would listen that they were the only ones who knew how to reform the system and had the courage to make the tough decisions. When asked about legal Immigrants and about moving people to work. about a safety net for children. their answer was always the same: Leave it to us. The States are the great laboratories of the 1990s. Well. the ink is barely dry on the Welfare Reform Act and now the Governors are back here whining about the welfare bill that they designed.
