What Clinton severed with his welfare reform was the obligation of the federal government to step in when the states failed and to monitor these programs.

Both referred to the Affordable Care Act, which is the accurate title of the health care reform law, as 'Obamacare.' That is a disparaging reference to the President of the United States, it is meant as a disparaging reference to the President of the United States.

To restore the trust of the people, we must reform the way the government operates.

There's never a good year for immigration reform - that's why it's dragged on ineffectually for decades.

I found that there is very little interest in Washington for true election reform. That neither the White House nor either house of the Congress seems to be as committed to guaranteeing democratic participation in this country as we seem to be in other countries.
