Santorum repeats inaccurate welfare attack on Obama
SNIPS ~~ PROUD of the LAT! ....
In fact, Obama did not waive the work requirement.
His administration in July issued a letter to state governments saying that the Department of Health and Human Services would consider requests from states to experiment with new ways to fulfill the work requirements. The letter said that in order to receive waivers to carry out the experiments, states would have to show that their plans would move more welfare recipients into jobs than existing policies.
The bulk of Santorum’s speech focused on the socially conservative themes that fueled the primary campaign and made him Romney’s most significant opponent in the final stage of the GOP contest. He decried the “assault on marriage and the family” and blamed poverty on the decline of moral values.
