"Welfare reform has weathered storms while still improving the lives of children and families," said Wade F. Horn, Ph.D., assistant secretary for children and families. "Through good economic times and bad, it has been the beacon of hope for families who were trapped on avenues of dependency. But there's plenty more work to be done, which is why we hope the Senate will soon strengthen and reauthorize this overwhelmingly successful law."

Translation: Keep them dolars rollin' in 'cause otherwise us bureaucRATS are going to be on welfare ourselves. My worthless junk Phd wouldn't get me a job at MacDonalds. No one in their right minds in the private sector would hire any of us here.

I applied for TANF last year and was rejected outright cause I didn't have any kids.

I was really desperate, but they didn't help. I dunno what good it is at all.

How can there possibly be more of these welfare dudes working?

There can't be any jobs they are going to? Bush "lost 3Million" of those.

Gee... maybe those former welfare bums and queens who phone Hannity et.al. relating how they decided to go into business for themselves aren't isolated cases.
