She says that like it's an insult or something...

“Good & Plenty” is also the one of the worst candies ever
It’s pretty ambitious of anyone to try to satire Sheila J. Lee.
Wonder how she would feel about Leeches or Gravy Sucking Pigs?
Let’s call it what isn’t really is: Ill-gotten gain, legalized theft.
is rose is a rose is a rose = a RAT is a RAT is a RAT...You completely blew this one, John. I can’t find the punchline. :^(
(Did you get that ping I sent earlier RE the Boxer quote about Welfare?)
That won’t happen until after the economy completely collapses.
IF Jackson-Lee (what a great Confederate name she has) wants to drop the term “welfare” for government payments, I propose that when we refer to her we drop the term “Congresswoman” and substitute “crazy. A fair exchange, I would say.
As for communist John Conyers to talk about “good and plenty”, he should know. He’s been living off the taxpayers for decades with “good and plenty” money and perks, while his city of Detroit was destroyed by him and his Communist Party buddy, the late mayor Coleman Young, the two heads of the City Council, marxists Maryanne Mahaffey and Erma Henderson, aided by the schmucky Levin brothers, Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich) and Rep. Sander Levin.
Conyers may like the term “good and plenty” but he obviously isn’t applying it to Detroit.
...In 2000, she favored permanently normalizing trade status for China, arguing that it would aid both human rights and Houston’s economy.
Jackson Lee traveled to the 2001 World Conference against Racism in South Africa, and has backed sanctions against Sudan. On April 28, 2006, Jackson Lee, along with four other members of Congress and six other activists, was arrested for disorderly conduct in front of Sudan’s embassy in Washington. They were protesting the role of Sudan’s government in ethnic cleansing in Darfur.
Jackson Lee is active on immigration issues. She has proposed increasing border security and increasing opportunities for legalization among those living in the United States. She has opposed a guest worker program, saying that the idea of guest: “connotate[s] `invite, come,’ and, at the same time, it misleads because you ask people to come for a temporary job of three to six years and they have to leave if they don’t have another job and I would think that they would not.”
Jackson Lee has urged better relations between the U.S. and Venezuela, which she describes as a friendly nation. She said the U.S. should reconsider its ban on selling F-16 fighter jets and spare parts to that country. The U.S. State Department bans such sales due to “lack of support” for counter-terrorist operations and Venezuela’s relations with Iran and Cuba.
In July 2010 Jackson Lee said: “Today, we have two Vietnams, side by side, North and South, exchanging and working. We may not agree with all that North Vietnam is doing, but they are living in peace. I would look for a better human rights record for North Vietnam, but they are living side by side.” It was noted that Vietnam had not been split for four decades.
Speaking in July 2010 at the NAACP national convention, Jackson Lee compared the Tea Party to the KKK.
Jackson Lee said in January 2011 that repealing the health care law would be in violation of the Constitution. She argued that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is constitutional under the Commerce Clause, and that repealing it would violate both the Fifth and the Fourteenth Amendments.
At a Homeland Security Committee hearing on radical Muslims in the US, held in March 2011, Jackson Lee said that Peter King’s hearings were helping al-Qaeda and “going the same route as Arizona.” She complained that the hearings were scaring Muslim Americans and called them “an outrage.”

I suggest “unearned income”, or “money someone else earned”.
I only wish it was “transitional” but our leaders have chosen to make it a permanent state - easier to buy and rely on votes that way.
With a name like Smuckers it has to be good...
Hmm, I don’t know, John. I think you missed this one, because Sheila Jackson Lee is closer to being a satire of herself than you could ever write.
By-the-way.
There will be a U. S. Senate seat for the great State of Arizona available in 2016 (full disclosure, it might require a primary challenge to the incumbent).
Shall we pencil you in?

“Welfare conjures up an image of some lazy person sitting around watching TV while taxpayers have to foot her bills,”
-That’s why they call it welfare. What should we call it, brilliant entrepreneur?
I hate when I forget to read the headline and get suckered in.
