I would hope that some Republicans -like myself-still do not want to see women and children thrown into the streets to starve-not my kind of conservatism.

Because one does not want to be burdened with taxes paying for the welfare of everyone else is NOT tantamount to heartlessness as you imply.

In case you couldn’t tell, the average worker is having a hard time getting by, let alone saving money. So why should they be forced to pay taxes for others to live without working?

Do you have any logic to back up your feel good concerns?

Re: The proposal would require the head of each household to work at least 30 hours a week by April 1, 2011, to keep the subsidy. Elderly and disabled residents would be exempt.

You call this “throwing people into the streets to starve”????? If you do, you need new reading glasses.

You wouldn't know conservatism if it walked up to you, introduced itself, and kicked you right in the b***s.
