I was just going to post that. Even Bill Clinton, with a little help from Newt, figured that out pretty quick.

Sounds good but doesnt always apply. Certainly there are leaches but there are also good guys who just cant put 2 & 2 together. They want to work or are under-employed. The govt is all too good at applying one set of rules the most unthinking way. One size just doesnt fit all.

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!

Hunger is a great motivator.

Cut the government teat and people will work for their money.

There already is a federal law on the books that limits welfare benefits to 5 years max for those able to work (Bill Clinton signed it, IIRC).

Obama gave waivers to the states to let them ignore the law.

In the current situation there are hundreds of applicants for almost every position that’s actually open, at least in my area, that ain’t gonna do much to help. You can kick a horse all you want but he ain’t gonna go forward if he’s facing the Grand Canyon.

that's sexist!!!....able bodied women are the worst offenders....by a huge margin!...Cut em ALL off!!!!

I know that's harsh so I'll compromise....(my liberal side showing I know)......so lets ween them off fairly...1/2 of what they got the previous yr would be very fair....

I “feel” so much better about my new found liberal generosity now...Its amazing!!!...I feel like I'm winning!
