First, GOP Governor Brownback of Kansas:
ANCHOR: "But you agree that these claims that the work requirement has been abolished are false?"
GOV BROWNBACK: "As far as I have seen, but I don’t know all of the basis to it. I do know the basis to this dependency on the government and how big the government is and how big the entitlement state is and how much of a debt we’re leaving to our kids."
Second, GOP Governor Herbert of Utah:
...Utah Gov. Gary Herbert declined to endorse Mitt Romney's claim that the initiative guts the 1996 welfare reform.
"The idea of flexibility is something that all states want to have," Herbert told The Huffington Post.
Indeed, the Utah Department of Workforce Services wrote two letters to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services seeking "waiver authority" so that the state's welfare officials could focus more on outcomes -- such as getting people jobs -- than on assembling data to meet narrow prescriptions in the law.
Third, former deputy press secretary for George W. Bush, Bill Burton:
During a panel segment on ABC's This Week, senior Romney campaign adviser Kerry Healey noted that the false claim that Obama gutted the work requirement in welfare reform had "become so central to this race."
Former White House deputy press secretary Bill Burton shot back that Healey's assertion had been "widely debunked."
