What representative Camp said in the 10May2014 Radio Address:
House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI): “Nothing is more important than preserving the American Dream for our kids and grand-kids. That’s why Republicans are relentlessly focused on building a strong economy that produces good jobs and lasting opportunities. The trouble is, that task gets harder and harder each time the powers-that-be in Washington won’t act on a good idea. Here’s what I mean.
“I’m Dave Camp from Michigan. 14 months ago, the House passed H.R. 890, my bill to protect reforms that have helped thousands of welfare recipients find jobs and lift their families out of poverty. Americans are still waiting for President Obama and Senate Democrats to act.”
The title for H.R. 890 is “Preserving Work Requirements for Welfare Programs Act of 2013”
So preserving the American Dream for our kids and grandkids reads “We’ll give you financial and nutritional support if you have a job.”
Here’s the text of H.R. 890 as passed by the Republican controlled House of Representatives: H.R. 890 Bill Text – 113th Congress (2013-2014) from the Library of Congress.
And because H.R. 890 references a U.S. Department of Health & Human Services memorandum, Guidance concerning waiver and expenditure authority under Section 1115, here’s the memorandum: TANF-ACF-IM-2012-03
