I do not think that if you come into this country illegally that you can whine and cry about not getting enough free money for yourself and your children every month. Go ahead, rip me to shreds. Oh, I’m also a liberal.

The women with ages mentioned are younger than me. This is incredibly sad. USA, #1!…

The US Government should do to these states what Ronald Reagan did when there was “a gas shortage.” Every state that received federal highway dollars had to reduce the speed limit on EVERY highway and interstate to no more than 55 mph or lose their federal funding. The US Government should refuse to pay the state’s federal funding for welfare recipients if the state (Arizona and others)
is diverting the federal funding to other programs.

I knew it wasn’t a good idea to “end welfare as we know it” without something pretty damn good to take its place. Cruel and heartless pandering to Repugs by Clinton. Very sad.

$2/day is also the same poverty line used by the United Nations and aid agencies in places like sub-Saharan Africa. Most developed countries don’t even collect or report these numbers on the assumption that it’s inconceivable that they would actually allow anyone to live like that…

I can’t imagine (or rather I can and it is horrifying) how my mother would have raised my brother and I if our welfare aid had had an expiration date. Ugh.
