And all you hear out of the dems mouth is the republicans are the bad guy on this welfare issue.

This bulls**t about filling budget holes with assistance money should be addressed and the money put back where it is intended.

With all these jobs leaving the country or with all these regulations that discourage job creation should be addesed too. How many clothing makers are left in this country, Call centers exported out of the country. Or any other jobs that have left. Apple could hire tons of assemblers in this country. Those are all jobs that can be had for the educational level required.

Great article. It should be spread all over the country.

excerpts;
President Bill Clinton fulfilled his pledge to “end welfare as we know it”: the revamped law encourages states to withhold aid, especially when the economy turns bad.

President Obama spoke favorably of the program in his 2008 campaign — promoting his role as a state legislator in cutting the Illinois welfare rolls.

While federal law allows such flexibility, critics say states neglect poor families to patch their own finances. Nationally, only 30 percent of the welfare money is spent on cash benefits.

“It’s not that the other stuff isn’t important, but it’s not what T.A.N.F.” — the Temporary Assistance program — “was intended for,” said LaDonna Pavetti of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a Washington research and advocacy group. “The states use the money to fill budget holes.”

Legislation and trade bills passed by RepubliCon Congresses going back to their patron Saint Ronnie of Reagan has allowed for the outsourcing of many millions of American jobs to 3rd world nations in the name of greed by the Corporate Owners of the GOP.
Their ultimate goal,which they are,so far,succeeding in,is to remake America into another 3rd world nation with poor working conditions where the can pay slave wages like they do in the other 3rd world nations they have taken the jobs to.
They then will bring them back to what's left of the America they haven't destroyed.

You're a very prolific liar, boobya, but sometimes you stretch it a little TOO far, to where it becomes ridiculous and laughable, like the whopper you told above. You have to thread that needle and walk that line a little better if you expect to fool anybody besides louise.
