Re success without hard work -- I did mention Clarence Thomas, didn't I? Did you read about him in my subsequent posts.
As for the welfare reform, I recall Clinton being the insistent one. I remember the speeches during the time, and every day my wife gets the privilege of working with urban baby-mommas who bitch about Clinton and the fact they have to get up off their arse at least 2 days a week or lost their welfare due to his reform program. I recall him doing the smart political thing and letting what he saw as an imperfect (but better than before) bill pass into law, and then trying to reopen it and change the parts he didn't like (with little success -- showing he was willing to accept something that was not exactly what he wanted, a nice bipartisan gesture).
Anyway, that's how I remember it. I am only drawing on memory here -- I don't have the gumption to go research this so we can argue about the past. Right now, I'm reserving my real time expenditures for present concerns, not past.
