August 2012- The Romney campaign has just released an ad claiming that President Obama is implementing a welfare policy that will, in effect, "repeal" the 1996 welfare reform law's welfare-to-work requirement. Firstly, this is patently untrue; the Obama administration policy does not remove the work requirement, in fact, it requires it for states who seek TANF waivers. Secondly, Mitt Romney, in 2005, supported this waiver policy; see his signature on this National Governors Association (NGA) letter to Senator Bill Frist.
