‘The culture of welfare must be replaced with the culture of work. The culture of dependence must be replaced with the culture of self-sufficiency and personal responsibility.”
These words were spoken by Sen. Joe Biden in 1996, shortly before he cast his vote for landmark welfare reform. Among other things, that bipartisan legislation included work requirements to create an incentive for employment and reduce welfare caseloads. Lawmakers like Mr. Biden understood that dependency has tragic consequences.
