Welfare reform is working. “[T]hese clients (hand picked for training) will produce the best measurable outcomes.” Isn’t that success? The people that can make the best use of the educational opportunity are the ones who get it. People on welfare are getting jobs in record numbers and getting off welfare. Isn’t that success?
