Robert Rector, a prominent welfare researcher who was one of the architects of
Clinton's 1996 reform bill, warned last week that Obama’s stimulus plan was
a “welfare spendathon” that would amount to the largest one-year increase in
government handouts in American history.
Douglas Besharov, author of a big study on welfare reform, said the stimulus
bill passed by Congress and the Senate in separate votes on Friday would
“unravel” most of the 1996 reforms that led to a 65% reduction in welfare
caseloads and prompted the British and several other governments to consider
similar measures.
the more Americans sign on to the
dole, the more state budgets will benefit from US Treasury payouts.
“They have completely overturned the fiscal and policy foundations of welfare
reform,” Rector complained
This will make the state and counties' budget problems go away with increased Federal Medicaid reimbursements also known as, FMAP.

Are you going to begrudge us a comfortable living just because we choose not to work or pay taxes? Where's your patriotism?
At last, we have a government FOR the people.

That 9:35 guy is brilliant, simply brilliant.
I like him.
A government for the people. I get a tingle down my leg when I think about it.
