The concept of "welfare dependency" is a hot topic in political circles. Although pending Republican plans have seized much attention, thc reform stage was recently occupied by President Clinton. This paper examines Clinton's welfare reform proposal (the 1994 Work and Responsibility Act). The article rcvicws the Act's objectives before it explores the process in which the Act was formed.
