I don’t know what world you live in. I live in the real world. Yes, I vividly remember the brief euphoria of ‘welfare reform’ ‘working’. Conservatives were so happy about it. But all the while the permanent disability rolls were expanding. Finally people started to notice. The racket has merely changed venues. A small percentage of welfare recipients went to work, but a far larger number learned to game the permanent disability system. It has been steadily expanding ever since. So the big problem DC ‘fixed’, according to you, has resulted in skyrocketing dependency rolls.

& you call that a success.

This is just a spin job. Back it up with time series data.
