In your response, be sure to address all parts of the question. Use complete sentences; an outline or bulleted list alone is not acceptable. “Some [Americans] saw the election of Bill Clinton as a repudiation of Reaganomics. . . . But in fact when Bill Clinton . . . signed the welfare reform law in August 1996 he signaled surrender: the Reagan Revolution was going to achieve its major goals. . . .

“. . . [When] the new Congress arrived in January 1995, they set the agenda not just with moves to balance the budget but with an effort to ‘end welfare as we know it,’ [President Bill] Clinton’s campaign promise.

“. . . The Republican proposal meant abolishing the federal guarantee of entitlement and turning AFDC [Aid to Families with Dependent Children] over to the states. . . . The idea of turning AFDC to the states had been prominently featured in Ronald Reagan’s ‘New Federalism’ proposal advanced in his State of the Union speech in 1982. . . .

“. . . Clinton agreed to sign a modified bill in August [1996]. . . . The bill preserved the federal guarantees of food stamps and Medicaid. . . . However, of much greater significance was the transformation of Clinton’s original proposal to reform welfare by spending more money on child care and job training into a program that guaranteed cuts amounting to $55 billion over six years. Instead of reforming welfare, he had abolished it, turning it over to the states with inadequate funds to maintain services.”
