Didn't Clinton have to get his welfare "reform" through congress?  It  
appears King George is just going to ink some paper again.

New Rules Force States to Curb Welfare Rolls

By ROBERT PEAR
WASHINGTON, June 27 — The Bush administration plans to issue sweeping  
new rules on Wednesday that will require states to move much larger  
numbers of poor people from welfare to work.

The rules, drafted in response to a budget signed into law by  
President Bush in February, represent the biggest changes in welfare  
policy since 1996, when Congress abolished the federal guarantee of  
cash assistance for the nation's poorest children.
