#shorts 1996 Sen. Joe Biden speaks in favor of work requirements for welfare recipients.
Biden said, “I introduced a concept of work fair in 1986. I remember being pilloried by my colleagues on the Democratic side at the time for suggesting that there’d be mandatory work requirement for anyone receiving welfare. We hear speech after speech after speech about changing the ethic that is involved in, quote, the welfare syndrome. We just heard our good friend from North Carolina talk about the generational nature of this problem and how to break the spiral and so on. Well, part of that is to, in fact, not just take people off of welfare and put them on the streets but put them to work and make them want to go to work and make it reasonable for them to go to work.”
