Exactly what is the welfare work requirement? In a nutshell:
Let's suppose a guy who is on welfare. He is uneducated and cannot find work. When he can, the best he can do is washing dishes somewhere. But he always liked to tinker with cars. An auto mechanics school opens up in his town. They provide sepcial arrangements for welfare recipients and our welfare guy has a chance to enroll.
Under President Obama's plan, he will be able to do it. He can still receive welfare while attending auto mechanic's shool. He pays his reduced tuition out of his welfare benefits and agrees to settle up for the rest after he graduates and finds work - you know, kind of like a student loan.
Under the former plan, he would be screwed.
Seems pretty evident to me which is the better of the two deals - both for people on welfare and for society in general. Which would you rather have in the long run - a dish washer or a trained auto mechanic?
Let's suppose, Georgie, that you decide to put your dinero where you put your diner.....
...how about you pay for the tuition of some of the folks you'd like to support....
No?
Then how about we suppose that you've been on this earth long enough to be aware of the beliefs of the Left re: welfare vs. workfare.
...and that you will admit the amazing success of the workfare aspect of the 1996 Bill that Obama is emasculating....and the intransigence of the Left in requiring any....any...work for welfare 'clients'...
...can you do that?
No?
That defines you as an ideologue.
In the example I gave, the auto repair school was accepting reduced tuition from welfare people in order to allow them to pay their own way out of their welfare benefits, so your tax dollars would not be involved beyond what they already are for the original benefits.
Also, a suggestion - cut the cutsie, cutsie business and just argue the point.
Illegal.
Unless he pays for same as an avocation after attending his full time job....
....else, no welfare benefits.
Here's the real question, Georgie...
...do you agree that the President of the United States has no constitutional power to alter a law that has been duly passed and signed by a previous President?
And, since I know you to be honest, you will agree with my premise...what would you be saying about this scenario if it had been done by a Republican?
