You do know know people have to work for their welfare(if they are not in school) at below minimum wage.

That is not true at all. There is no work involved, and most states welfare programs provide payment over minimum wage. 9 states even provide welfare that exceeds a first year teacher's salary

lol can you give me those nine states?

If you're trying to convince us that life on welfare is a sweetheart deal, you've got a long row to hoe.

No, but due to the massive disincentive to thrive that welfare brings about , it does cause even more poverty, evidenced by the INCREASE in the rate of poverty over the last near half century despite a massive increase in entitlement programs.

Oops...

The increase in poverty might be to good jobs going to China and Mexico, welfare was less restrictive before increase in poverty and Reaganomics.

Like obummers jobs czar who moved entire divisions and plants to China?

A new line of RW bumper stickers:

"Kill a homeless person today! Your country will thank you!"
"Have you hugged your AR-15 today?"
"Deport Jose and Juanita. The grape harvest is in".
"Buy a Glock. It would have been the choice of Jesus".
"Keep your sociolized medical plan away from my Medicare!"
"Impeach that black, commie, muslim, gay, Kenyan in the White house"
"We are not making war on women! We love Palin. We think we love Coulter, too, but would like to have her female credentials verified by a doctor, just in case".

An off-topic, offensive post by a sad, sad fool

lol come on ! the last one was hilarious.

Against bailouts not against welfare...as a step

You against corporate welfare? I am.

If you're for individual welfare, you're helping to ensure the rate of poverty continues to increase, which is exactly what has happened despite trillions spent on entitlements for decades.

what difference does it make where Wall Street is located? I'm trying to figure out why you said it?

Because Wall Street gets a ton of corporate welfare/bailouts, which Dems tend to bitch about, despite electing a guy (Schumer) that leads the charge for more corporate welfare. It's mind boggling.

What do you think poverty is ever going to end? Do you think entitlements are meant to END poverty?

Giving someone a crutch is ok, taking their crutches and screaming that they are lazy bastards who can walk they just dont want to is another story.

Whats baffling about Shumer asking for bailouts? Or ppl electing Shumer? Or...what is your point?

What? can you expound on that?

It's pretty self explanatory, but in your zeal to condemn "the other party" for sending jobs to China you forget to mention that obummers own jobs czar(immelt) sent entire plants to China.

hating poor people will not win you any elections

when someone chooses to be poor i have no sympathy for them !! there are people that need help because of legitimate reasons like health !! if it were not for the free loaders sucking up the money and resources those that are genuinely disabled could get a lot more help !!

Not exactly true. In California, all one has to do is participate in "job training" or "related activities" to get the dole. One can go FOUR YEARS without actually holding an actual job with no fear of loosing the handout and even after that, that person will continue to received assistance for each kid no matter what. In fact, California is one of the few states that will give welfare to families with kids even when the parents do not qualify for welfare, often because they're already receiving federal "disability" checks. Further, when welfare recipients are forced to work, it is often at a subsidized government part-time job...yep, even more taxpayer dollars.

So while your statement can be true in some cases, it's HIGHLY misleading to say "people have to work for their welfare".

Not misleading at all,job training is school.

For FOUR FUCKING YEARS? I don't think so. And the requirement that the recipient actually show up for this training in California? It's a joke and everyone in the state knows it.

Disability is counted toward their income requirements.

It's different in California. In California, people getting federal "disability" can still get welfare for each kid they have (only three states allow this). Doesn't matter if the parents are not at all eligible for welfare, be it for disability payments or any other reason.

I don't know of any job training for 4 years but if California is not adhering to Federal law the can be sued...but I have not studied California welfare, so I'm fairly ignorant to California requirements...

I'm not happy with some of Obama choices for his administration but Obama has done a better job of promoting fair trade with China and protecting American jobs than any President since Carter(which ain't sayin much). Obama's "Buy American Clause" in the stimulus was downed by Republicans.

Why must you lie?

The clause you speak of was softened by the democratically controlled senate.

The Senate agreed to specify in the bill that U.S. international trade agreements should not be violated. But a move by Sen. John McCain, a leading Republican, to delete the requirement failed 31-65.

And turning this nation into communism will not win you any freedoms.

Every time you are pinned against a wall with facts, you just come out with the most ignorant responses. Why can't you ever put your big girl panties on and admit that the left has created a real crisis in this nation?

No they don't. obama eliminated those programs. That was a Clinton era program that's gone now.

Obama can't eliminate a federal law.

Heritage Foundation Lies About Obama Welfare Reform Change

Liberals swallow propaganda as easily as they swallow loads.... It truly is amazing how stupid they are.

It is the Dem's who hate the poor, by keeping them under control of the welfare programs that they keep passing.

Wanting our poor to be lifted out of poverty is not hating them.
We want programs that help them to become productive citizens by having a good education and programs that will help them to get out of the ghettos and horrible housing projects that the Dem's programs have created.

Yeah, it's the Repugs that love the poor, by wanting to take away the social safety net. That way, if a poor person falls upon bad times or becomes unemployed, the right can lovingly let them starve to death.

 

[P@triot]

lies are all they have to defend their historically failed ideas

Liberals swallow propaganda as easily as they swallow loads.... It truly is amazing how stupid they are.

By the way - the only failure comes from your side of the isle. It was not conservative principles that collapsed the former U.S.S.R. - it was liberal. It was not conservative principles that collapsed Greece - it was liberal. It is not conservative principles that collapsed Europe - it is liberal. Want to keep going?

Game. Set. Match.

But As we know the Congress was not Filibuster proof.

That's because your "social safety nets" have created more poverty, more failure, and more collapse. But hey, you never did let facts get in the way of your love for socialism, right?

And when they die?

The rest of the poor can munch on their carcass.

See?

We have a solution for feeding the poor!

Any of you assholes know how much someone on welfare "makes?" I've yet to see any decent homes on welfare row. Christ, I have a friend on disability and he's going belly up because he can't make the bills on that and he's legit, not faking. Now we can bitch and moan about what "Welfare Mama" makes on welfare, but of course we're NEVER going to talk about the government welfare/corporate welfare the elite get.

 

[KnobbyWalsh]

Used to "trickle down," but now it trickles UP. This oughta make right-wingers happy.
