Abstract:
But Clinton’s actions in his first year in office indicate strongly that he intends to expand rather than end welfare. While Clinton no oubt will boldly embrace the symbols of reform, there is very little indication that he willactually seek substantial changes in the current system. All the evidence suggests that Clinton will duplicate the meaningless welfare reform debate of 1988. As in 1988, the public again will be told that America has achieved a revolutionary change in welfare when in fact little or nothing has been altered.
