Re: Obama Executive order ends Welfare Reform as we know it!
Wait, so he is requiring people to prepare for work and making welfare more temporary? Isn't that a good thing?

OP says, "The welfare reform law was very successful. In the four decades prior to welfare reform, the welfare caseload never experienced a significant decline".

Isn't that a BAD thing?! Don't you want the welfare caseload to be smaller?!

The only problem I see is that the unemployment rate is so high and that would present a complication, then people can't qualify for welfare, and you have angry people, etc. Am I missing something here?!?!?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1461298


The welfare reform happened under Clinton and was a good thing. It got people off of welfare and back to work. Obama, with the stroke of a pen got rid of it.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6354989


Yes, he just wiped out a decade of welfare reform and it's back to Square #1.

More and likely massive entitlements when we can't pay the ones we already have. More rewards for the non-productive.

So this means more can sit around and collect and get fatter and the

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19393279


Yeah, basically. Or the ones who are on it, won't have to look for work any more. They used to have to work I think 20 hours to qualify.

He was and was put in place illegally against the will of the American public through deceit and lies by the evil Satanic cabal which has this world in its grasp.

The ONLY way to escape the imminent destruction of your spirit is through Jesus Christ. He... is the ONLY way friends! DO NOT CHOOSE TO IGNORE THIS AND BE PLACED IN THE FINAL 7 YEAR PERIOD / POST RAPTURE / FOR YOUR DESTINY AT THAT POINT WILL BE GRIM. The Only way after the removal of the church to be provided a sense of salvation will be from the sacrifice of your own life. This will be through your confession of your knowledge, understanding and belief in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, as well as refusing the mark which is present and being instituted now.

Pray for me as well. There are temptations everywhere and we all need strength in the incredibly dark days!

Yeah man, Jesus hated welfare!

My problem with welfare is.... The more that get on it, make the lame 2 party system even worse. When freebies are handed out, the people will vote for the party giving out the freebies. This country is heading for rough times when only 50% of the population pays income tax!

Actually social programs/entitlements take up over 80% of the federal spending. So what you are saying is mathematically impossible. Google federal budget and so forth.

And it's not the POOR, it's the LAZY who refuse to work or even try to better their situation and want to remain on the taxpayer dole generation after generation.

Welcome to 3rd world America and in the meantime, I have to sit home, wait for my temp employer to call and see if anything is gonna change at work. 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. (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.

No, you've got it backwards unfortunately.

What the article is saying is that he's waiving these requirements due to people's 'temporary need for relief'. Long-lived/permanant temporary relief in other words.

I'm still going to wait until I can read the EO for myself.

Oh ok, thanks for everyone clearing that up, I guess increased govt. dependence is Mr. Obama's style, which does make more sense considering his politics. "Got ma welfar check honey chil' !". Just wait when they finally cut it off at the very tail end of everything hitting the fan. knockout

Re: Obama Executive order ends Welfare Reform as we know it!
simple sum it up.

Old way: you want a free ride?, you gotta work for it somehow, can't just panhandle ya know, try to do some good.

After this: Forget about the pan, don't even need it, we'll just let you have it, we'll hold a pan in one hand, and a gun in the other, take from them and give it to you, they won't care.

What saddens me is that people have no pride any more. Pride is lost....



WOW! If anyone wanted to destroy the basic principles of this country, this guy is doing it.


It's like watching a car wreck in slow motion, and knowing the guy in the car causing the wreck was the one purposely veering into oncoming traffic...

I think he knows he is not the "shoe-in" he once believed. So, he wants to do as much damage as possible before he is voted out.

If he is not voted out, he has nothing to lose, he just got a head start on finishing our country off.

16 TRILLION? Pffftttt....

The financial giants and big banks may be responsible for losses (?) in the 800 TRILLION, no typo there, that's EIGHT HUNDRED TRILLION dollars. This is the latest rumor circulating. How does a bank "lose" that much money? Want to bet that it is more likely being funneled out of country to god-knows-where?

I have an idea...let's FIND that "lost" money and put it back where it belongs.

Don't forget the money for welfare is coming out of the Social Security Bank...
Also, now that moms collecting welfare don't have to work, or seek work now.., which WILL result in lower unemployment numbers its now @ 8.3 %..except it to drop like a rock in a month or two just before election..
By then people will forget this, and He can say "that he bought down unemployment from 8.3%-->6.0% or lower?
