Over 1.3 million people left the welfare rolls in 1996. more than 650.000 of them in just the last 4 months of the year. When you reform social programs that discourage work. you are bound to get more wage earners. Then theres immigration reform. With the tightening of restrictions on illegal immigration and the termination of benefits like unemployment insurance for illegal immigrants. jobs are moving out of the underground economy and are being filled by legal residents. In addition. efforts made by Congress to deregulate businesses. promote competition. and cut govemment spending are all contributing to economic growth. The telecommunications and securities reform legislation passed during the 104th Congress are two prime examples where deregulation is eliminating redtape. expanding industries. and putting capital investment to more efficient use to create jobs.
