Social Security bill faces second vote and welfare limits
The Senate debate on the welfare bill centers on benefits for 24 million Social Security recipients with a second vote set after filibuster concerns. Kennedy and Harris warn the limits could deny aid to needy children and parents, pushing mothers to work and place children in day care. States would cap aided children ratios, require work programs, allow some earnings, and provide day care and family planning services. Democratic leaders pressure for timely approval to avoid harming re election prospects.
