This is not what government programs were meant to be. “I'm 30 years old. I have four kids and I've been on welfare for 12 years.” Interviewer “Do you live in government housing?” “Yes, since I was 18.” She then describes even more benefits she receives.

She’s proud to have been on welfare for 12 years, couple that with her picture and the first thing I thought of is she’s one of those that LBJ knew he could get to vote democrat for the rest of their lives.

She’s literally being paid to vote communist democrat.

Most people would be shocked to find out that “Black Churches” spend much of their time educating their members on how to get on “the dole” either legitimately or by fraud, but it’s been going on for decades.

I remember a story overheard in welfare office:
A mother with a daughter came to the office and said
“This is my case worker! When you grow up, you will have one too!”

These people are entitled to real lives rather than the grubby dump-change lives they’re living. Easy welfare has got to go.

The worst part of this is there are indeed some who need the assistance. They are the ones the Dems drag out in front of the world when there is talk about overhauling the program.

Bring back shaming Cadillac welfare queens. She should feel shame for being on government assistance. She’s a burden on society.

No. The system needs a step down. Benefits removed in conjunction with income increases.

No loss of health care and housing until replaced.

People get trapped.

I may be wrong, but didn’t Clinton institute a program that made welfare more difficult to get? Maybe they had to actually do some kind of work to get it?....

Yes back when Newt was speaker. Actually it was a stolen idea of Governor Tommy Thompson’s WEOP program (Wisconsin Employment Opportunities Program). It provided skills training and child care subsidies.

Of course, human nature prevailed. “If I apply for jobs I am unqualified for, I will never get hired”

But they still get transportation allowances and child care.

I’m betting she’s not the first generation in her family to live this life.
Back in the 80’s, I owned a small store, and we were already on third generation welfare bums by then.

We’re at the point where we’re going to have to pay people to have kids. But it’s not going to work because there’s no father in the picture.

I agree but welfare has been like this for many decades. There's a reason every poor neighborhood called the first of the month, “mother's day”.

We need to stop funding women who have illegitimate kids.

The paper that was once used was easily to spot and now the cards are easily hidden unless you’re really eyeballing them or by how much is in their buggies.
