California senator says ‘welfare queen’ law must go

The law passed two decades ago, with Democrats in charge of the Legislature: In California, a family that conceives and births an additional child while on welfare is barred from getting an increase in its grant.

Today, with Democrats still in the majority, the measure’s base of support is eroding. Advocates for the poor are mounting their strongest effort yet to repeal the so-called “maximum family grant” rule, a big-ticket spending item that could bleed into state budget talks.

[artichokegrower]

Where are the advocates for the working folks who will have to pay for all of this?

[reg45]

How much will the welfare queens get when the state goes bankrupt?

[skeeter]

The marxists are really going for it.

[gop4lyf]

This is what the people there voted for. Let them. May all such leeches move there. We have plenty of room elsewhere for self sufficient types.

[boycott]

The welfare queens need to put their babies up for adoption if they cannot afford them.

[skeeter]

I didn’t vote for it. i don’t deserve it.

[vpintheak]

Like leftists care about the working class... They want votes, and I’ll give you this and that is the best way to get votes.

[Chode]

words fail...

[lavaroise]

Oh yeah. illegal’s 8 wives and 25 children dream gallore.

[Iron Munro]

A small reminder from a time when there were still a few democrats who weren’t total Marxists.

The state isn't putting a limit on how many children you can have. They are putting a limit on how many children you can dump on the backs of CA taxpayers. There is a difference.

Welfare Queen makes me think of Banking Queen.

Do those people who are gainfully employed get a raise every time they have another child?

[Noumenon]

Please tell me that’s a photoshop. All of it.

[Chode]

No, they work harder to make more money, and that's not fair to lazy people.
Those hard workers must be punished for making the lazy feeeel guilty.

[Postman]

They’ll just get bused to states that aren’t bankrupt....yet.

[AlaskaErik]

Democrats actually pass a sensible law and now they want to repeal it. Frito Lay, Coke and Pepsi will see huge sales increases, as will the illegal drug industry.

Family planning is everything. Have a child every so-many years to collect more welfare money. And never, ever work past the allotted hours or you may lose this money. And if you shack up with someone who works, you have it made.
