"Cruz: Champion "Every Able-Bodied Adult" Working Or Looking,"Entire Purpose" Of Welfare Programs,Even Disability"
I’m just a low-information, un-engaged schlub—I know Cruz isn’t talking about me.
Cruz said, “I believe we need to champion every able-bodied adult ought to be working, or actively looking for a job, and the entire purpose, every one of the welfare programs, even disability programs, people with disabilities are still capable, in many, many cases, of doing meaningful work, maybe not heavy manual labor.”
Wow, talk about tone-deaf. This sounds like a Jeb Bush “people aren’t working enough” quote.
MAYBE the disabled shouldn’t do heavy manual labor? What the hell?
I’m sure there are people out there that are playing fast and loose with disability benefits to the point of abuse, but there are way better ways to express your desires for full employment to suggest that crippled people should be unloading delivery trucks if they can physically manage it.
How many millions of jobs are presently held by illegals?Americans can’t find work because of this.
Do you have a problem with these remarks? They are more aspirational than a hard and fast cutoff of benefits likely to shock the system
Cruz is exactly right. It seems some of the “low informed” are exposing themselves.
First step is to start bringing jobs back from China and Mexico. Now what candidate said that first? Oh, yeah! GO TRUMP!
No wonder Hillary can’t wait to run against Cruz...
That’s a good start.
I’d go even further: you get welfare, you do not vote.
NOPE to Cruz, now, tomorrow, forever!!! I’m a college graduate, own my own business, but I’m a lowly uneducated informed voter...
Guess what ‘jackass’ shove your campaign up Kneel Bush, Snarly Carly, and Glenn Beck’s butt and see how far you get now!!!
Cruz says this but he is lying. Cruz supports amnesty which takes jobs from Americans, and he supports bringing in 325,000 more H-1B foreign tech workers. So, while Ted talks about jobs, he means for foreigners, not Americans.
Trump talks about jobs for Americans!
Now, if Cruzie ever made it to the general - doubtless, he would be confronted with an ad showing someone in a wheelchair being lectured by him that they should be looking for a job.
Speaking of 'low info', Ted is not properly informed that there are almost a hundred million working-age people not working. Tedder is also hiding the fact that his owners - like hedge fund Mercer - are shipping any decent paying jobs overseas. Way to go there 'un-Constitutional' Cruzie.
Ted’s a great talker.
This is totally unrealistic in a wealthy country.
Back in the golden age of the 50s, nearly no middle-class women worked. They all stayed at home and took care of the kids and the house. You could live on one income.
Today, we are even richer, but people are working much harder. More jobs, more hours.
But still there are many people who, for various reasons, are able to live without working. They may be students, they may be rich, they may have some way of getting by. It is very difficult to get everyone to work.
Why doesn’t Trumpbart defend their reporters when they’re assaulted by Drumpf’s campaign manager?
Good grief.......is this REALLY FR or is it DU?
The dude's been spending too much time with Romney.
Has this guy ever spent any time with folks with disabilities? My bro-in-law is paralyzed from the waist down and graduated Stanford with an econ degree - summa cum laude, was first in his law class and is the successful owner of a large mechanical contractor.
My nephew has muscular dystrophy, confined to an electric wheelchair and is completing his PhD in BioInformatics at UNC-Chapel Hill.
It shows Cruz isn't comfortable talking about this. Normally, he's pretty good at not putting his foot in his mouth but seems to be slipping the more desperate he becomes.
The question came from policeman who refused going on disability. Asked about the mindset of Americans abusing social programs. Great hour program, taped in NC the day before.
