That is, of course, the key.

Well, you clearly jumped the shark with THAT rationalization.

Rationalization hell. The Dems for years insisted on defending the system
of
paying unwed mothers to stay home making babies indefinitely. They dragged
out all kinds of parades of horribles they claimed would occur if the
system
were changed.

Then the Republicans took Congress and decided there ought be a limit. And
Clinton had the good sense to get out of the way of that freight train.
And
lo! The sky did not fall as the Dems had been predicting.

So, Clinton acted successfully, and he created a compromise that even those
terrible democrats could tolerate... unless you think that the Republicans
had a filibuster proof majority.
