Take her off all assistance period! My taxes should not be going to able bodied people with children or not.

In the 1990s there was a 60 Minutes style show (name?) and they interviewed people who needed continuing government aid.

One teenager said his mother (and earlier his father) and older siblings have been on welfare and other funding since he was born.
Asked about his dreams of a better life someday and if he was taking advantage of partial trade school funding and job skill training programs he said “no.”

“My only goal is to get old enough to get my own welfare account. Then I can live on my own welfare instead of letting my mother boss me all he time.”

I’m sure he was one of a huge number of people on welfare for decades with attitudes like his.

I remember Paul Harvey doing a show where he said “at one time if someone went on assistance, called the dole, it was a shameful secret that the family tried to keep away from neighbors and friends knowing. If someone knew they had to take welfare and food stamps they couldn’t show their faces as they went around town. Now, the term is “entitlement” and people fiercely demand their full welfare and other payments because they deserve it -—they are entitled to it.”

This has been going on for a very long time. Over 40 years ago I was in a community college class and one of the women told the class she had 6 kids and had been on Welfare her entire adult life.

She said when she was in to schedule the appointment to have the sixth baby delivered by Cesarean, the doctor told her that they were going to “tie her tubes” while they had her opened up for the surgery. She told the doctor if he did that, she would sue him for all he all he was worth because he would be violating her rights to have as many kids as she wanted to.

The professor told everyone to stand and applaud her for being so brave.

She is the teacher in the new Welfare University. He children are learning everything they need to know about living off the fruits of others’ efforts - and to be vehement about the right to do it.

There are multi-generational households where no one has ever had a full time job.

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?

People on long-term welfare should be voluntarily sterilized to continue benefits.

This is necessary to reduce generational welfare.

Hopefully, the reduced burden on society would allow better-suited people to have more children.

This is EXACTLY what Lyndon Johnson was purported to have said at the outset of the "Great Society" programs, Keep THEM voting for us.

Sold then to the nation -- through Democrats and RINOs then as now -- with the "goals of totally eliminating poverty and racial injustice."

Now the nation is massively in debt, "entitlements" is the same as the dole, and the poor are still with us. But the government types are now making the big bucks....

Government housing, welfare, Medicaid etc all need to go away.

There was a woman who played bingo. 20 cards, no beads,no dauber, photographic memory. What she did for a living was collect welfare.

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.

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.
