[b]Laid off for how long,unknown,and so I'm collecting unemployment, applying to every damn job I can think of, even the Mickey'ds shit and no responses.[/b] (seems the employers nowadays don't wanna talk to you if you're unemployed) Not my fault. work got slow. And all i get is this measly $40.00/mnth in foodstamps. I'd rather work but shit, nothing happening and no phone calls. [/quote] I can [i]hardly wait[/i] until these smug well-to-do A-HOLES that [i]never[/i] had a difficult time in their lives lose it all. THEN and only THEN will they know how hard it can be even when you try your best. Believe me, when they lose everything I will not shed one single tear for them. [/quote] You DO realize that these "smug well-to-do A-HOLES that never had a difficult time in their lives" all support and vote DEMOCRAT, right?? It's the ones who actually had to WORK for it that vote Republican. [/quote] The people answering against welfare on this thread are predominantly well-to-do REPUBLICAN :dumbass: :iamwith: [/quote] I disagree. I am not a Repub or a democrat. I am not 'well to do". I am self employed and I make a decent living for hard work and effort...but it is not what I consider "well to do". I am a Libertarian. I am all about equal opportunity for everyone to do their best. I am also all about freedom. I choose to be self employed because I can run to the store when I need to, do an errand or two or even take a light day. I work by schedules and deadlines. Today I might work till midnight, tomorrow I might call it a day at noon...but the choice is mine and as long as I meet my deadlines with a quality product, my clients don't give a shit when I actually do the work. The welfare system deadens the brain. But we are between Ascella and Charybdis right now. We "should" have wide open doors of commerce to allow people to use their brains to make their way. I used this example before but...If someone wants to buy a cheap grill, attach it to a cart and sell hot dogs along the side of the road for a buck 50 each...I'm good with that...but no...we have tons of regulations, fees and licenses that prevent a decent person from doing that. THIS is the problem. For God's sake...just let people do for themselves and most people will. However, if it is complicated or costly and seems impossible, then most people will gove up or not even try...and that is a travesty to ingenuity and cleverness. [/quote] Nice post. The parasites don't want independent people. That's why there are so many taxes and regulations crushing any semblance of independence. They want wage slaves. [/quote]

This afternoon, President Obama’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released an official policy directive undermining the welfare reform law of 1996. The new policy guts the federal work requirements that have been the foundation of that law — one of the most successful domestic policy reforms in the 20th century.
Welfare reform replaced the old Aid to Families with Dependent Children with a new program, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). The underlying concept of welfare reform was that able-bodied adults should be required to work or prepare for work as a condition of receiving welfare aid.
The welfare reform law was very successful. In the four decades prior to welfare reform, the welfare caseload never experienced a significant decline. But, in the four years after welfare reform, the caseload dropped by nearly half. Employment surged and child poverty among blacks and single mothers plummeted to historic lows. What was the catalyst for these improvements? Rigorous new federal work requirements contained in TANF.
Contrary to some perceptions, the formula that made welfare reform a success was not giving state governments more flexibility in operating federally funded welfare programs. The active ingredient that made the difference was requiring state governments to implement those rigorous new federal work standards.
Today the Obama administration issued a dramatic new directive stating that the traditional TANF work requirements will be waived or overridden by a legal device called a section 1115 waiver authority under the Social Security law (42 U.S.C. 1315).
