A new day is dawning folks.

We’re going to be seeing a lot more like this over the next four years.

Take heart.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The St. Louis and Kansas City politicians are whining that even if it is welfare fraud it’s money coming into their locales so we should just look the other way.

[dynachrome]

Dang racists! Wimmen,chirren and black folk hurt the most.

[Paladin2]

The economy will come to a screeching halt.

Welfare fraud is an expensive problem that taxpayers everywhere are paying for

Welfare fraud is an expensive problem that taxpayers everywhere are paying for

There, fixed it.

[The Toll]

Remember when Gingrich forced Cinton into signing welfare reform? Nothing changed.

[DoughtyOne]

That’s what they used to say when we wanted to cut Welfare or some other funding.

[from occupied ga]

Missouri should be well on its way to providing a more prosperous future for their citizens; pulling them out of poverty and setting them on the road to a brighter future

You can't "pull someone out of poverty" by giving them something that they didn't earn. That just re-enforces the behavior that keeps them poor.

[HiTech RedNeck]

A lot of these people did pay in, out of their earnings, before falling on hard times. To just snub them at this time seems cold. They put skin in the game, they should be able to get skin back out of it.

[PGalt]

WOOOOOHOOOOO! HOORAY Missouri

[Tennessee Nana]

yeah and then they give them 2 years more etc

if they were really serious they would start right away and include the illegal aliens ...make sure the recipients are American citizens...

[Tennessee Nana]

Well Jebbie! is here and there must be something calling me to clean it...

maybe dusting the cobwebs off the pipes down in the crawl space would be exciting

LOL

[goodnesswins]

"Rep. Haefner told reporters that, “This is an attempt at bending the curve of reining in welfare costs. We'll make sure that the people who get welfare are actually eligible to receive it.”

[oldplayer]

Presumably, the reform will be able to tell these people from the scammers.

[Thibodeaux]

fire the social workers and hire accountants

[Mears]

More riots and burning in Ferguson on the way.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt Quote FROM HIS State of the Union 1935

http://www.let.rug.nl/~usa/P/fr32/speeches/su35fdr.htm

Funny how they omitted this FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt) quote from the media:

Approximate 26th Paragraph of his speech

{FDR stands for Franklin Delano Roosevelt - 32nd POTUS, cousin of the real President Roosevelt, Theodore (Teddy) 26th POTUS.}

"The lessons of history, confirmed by the evidence immediately before me, show conclusively that continued dependence upon relief induces a spiritual disintegration fundamentally destructive to the national fiber. To dole our relief in this way is to administer a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit. It is inimical to the dictates of a sound policy. It is in violation of the traditions of America. Work must be found for able-bodied but destitute workers.

The Federal Government must and shall quit this business of relief."

For those who may not know, the word "relief" as used above, would be replaced today 2016, with the word "welfare."

[RetiredTexasVet]

Wrong. The Feds will put a stop to that real quick. They will be sued into oblivion.

[DoughtyOne]

Except the Feds will be under a different White House, and that different White House won’t buy into this.

The tide is turning.
