The human face of welfare reform

Gov. Tim Pawlenty's recommendation to reduce the number of people eligible for what he calls Minnesota's "welfare health care" programs has returned to the fore debates over welfare and work reminiscent of American politics from a decade ago. New York Times reporter Jason DeParle is out with a new book on America's 1996 welfare overhaul called "American Dream: Three Women, Ten Kids and a Nation's Drive to end Welfare." DeParle gave this speech at a recent forum on welfare reform in St. Paul.
