The Washington Post, February 19, 2016: Sanders criticizes Bill Clinton on welfare reform, saying it increased ‘extreme poverty’
“Sanders said among the differences he had with Clinton during the 1990s was ‘so-called welfare reform,’ which Sanders said had the effect of ‘scapegoating’ vulnerable people. ‘That legislation ended up increasing extreme poverty,’ Sanders said during the forum, which was broadcast live on Telemundo and MSNBC and focused largely on issues important to Latinos, including immigration reform.”
