Don't be stupid, Stephanie. The ridiculous notion that everybody on welfare is looking for a free ride is just plain idiotic. But that's what the right wing thinks. Bunch of dopes.
wtf? that is NOT what I asked you.
I asked, WHY did the Obama choose to USE SS checks INSTEAD OF SAYING, we can't guarantee WELFARE CHECKS WILL GO OUT.
Or funding federal wildlife areas or the Robert Byrd Library of Midnight basketball...or etc
In a never ending quest to end ignorance, here is a brief overview of TANF which even CrusaderFrank and Stephanie may understand:
About TANF Program
From the link:
"Under the welfare reform legislation of 1996, (the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act PWRORA Public Law 104-193), TANF replaced the welfare programs known as Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), the Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training (JOBS) program and the Emergency Assistance (EA) program. The law ended federal entitlement to assistance and instead created TANF as a block grant that provides States, territories and tribes federal funds each year. These funds cover benefits, administrative expenses, and services targeted to needy families. TANF became effective July 1, 1997, and was reauthorized in February 2006 under the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005."
