RSC Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Tim Scott (R-SC), and Rep. Scott Garrett (R-NJ) have introduced the Welfare Reform Act of 2011. This legislation will help food stamp recipients become independent of government assistance, give taxpayers a clearer picture of national welfare spending, and return the federal welfare budget to pre-recession levels after unemployment falls to 6.5%. Currently, there are 77 means-tested federal programs that provide benefits specifically to poor and low-income Americans.

"I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it." – Benjamin Franklin

Wake up White America the Liberal propaganda and politically correct bullshit being shoved down our throats is nothing but a guise to hide the fact that the degenerate people of this country, are destroying it.

Hey, Gordon Austin, does "driving them out of it" include yelling at them and punching them in the face like you did those children that were sitting in your dentist chair, witnessed by three dental assistants multiple times? youtube.com/watch?v=vtCVHcT2mB­0

I agree. Some people on welfare use their cash to buy lottery tickets,tobacco,alcohol even drugs. Then rely on the taxpayers to pay for all their living expenses. Parasites

Not to say you have no understanding of economics, but, well...you have no understanding of economics. Businesses have EXPENSES. These expenses are passed along to consumers. Income minus expenses equals profits. Profits benefit workers, stock holders and consumers. Taxes are an expense. Bear with me now. EXPENSES ARE PASSED ALONG TO CONSUMERS.  Get it? YOU would be paying the taxes dummy! Liberals...sheesh!

either way we should require strict lifestyles for the "ones in need" because its obvious they need help getting food money etc. so why not make them live a special way so they dont fuck up shit more like training a tree to grow upright. or putting chains on a monkey

[colton brown]

this is what i say we do it like jessie ventura did we give them a amount of time to get a job and i dont care about the how bad unemployment is if they dont do it then we cut them off and i say that because i see people with welfare spending money as if their the king/. and if we cut people off of welfare just think of what could happen more money for more people and it would go to the grovernment instead of the low life to lazy to get up
