California senator says ‘welfare queen’ law must go
Sacramento Bee ^ | 02/22/2015 | Christopher Cadelago

Posted on 02/22/2015 7:40:26 PM PST by artichokegrower

The law passed two decades ago, with Democrats in charge of the Legislature: In California, a family that conceives and births an additional child while on welfare is barred from getting an increase in its grant.

This is what the people there voted for. Let them. May all such leeches move there. We have plenty of room elsewhere for self sufficient types.

The welfare queens need to put their babies up for adoption if they cannot afford them.

A small reminder from a time when there were still a few democrats who weren’t total Marxists.

The state isn't putting a limit on how many children you can have. They are putting a limit on how many children you can dump on the backs of CA taxpayers. There is a difference.

Do those people who are gainfully employed get a raise every time they have another child?

No, they work harder to make more money, and that's not fair to lazy people.
Those hard workers must be punished for making the lazy feeeel guilty.

Democrats actually pass a sensible law and now they want to repeal it. Frito Lay, Coke and Pepsi will see huge sales increases, as will the illegal drug industry.

Family planning is everything. Have a child every so-many years to collect more welfare money. And never, ever work past the allotted hours or you may lose this money. And if you shack up with someone who works, you have it made.
