                     SUPPORT REAL CHANGE IN WELFARE

  (Mr. EWING asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. EWING. Mr. Speaker, I am tired of the misleading rhetoric from 
the other side of the aisle regarding welfare reform.
  They talk about real welfare reform. They talk about being mean to 
children. That is just incorrect.
  They would have us believe that every welfare family is an ``Ozzie 
and Harriet'' family, the family next door, fallen on hard times. 
Ladies and gentlemen, those families will still have welfare available 
to them if they need it.
  Welfare reform is aimed at those who are on it for generations and 
who use the rewards for their personal pleasure, not to help their 
children.
  It is time that if you really want welfare reform you quit saying it 
and put your actions where your words are. Do not just say you really 
want change when you really want to just throw more money at a failed 
system.
