The Welfare Reform Act of 2011

For more information, visit http://rsc.jordan.house.gov/Solutions/wra.htm
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.

@kikisweetz 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

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

@MrBowles760 I know right? Took me 3 years to get grants for College and yet I see fat asses buying beer and using their vouchers or whatever they get. I'm all for helping those who need it, but they need to do their part and get a job.

@whoo689 If the NEA allowed teachers to teach, instead of pushing a humanist social agenda, the kids would come out of school with useful knowledge and skills. It doesn't matter what jobs are available if you don't have the education to perform them, especially if you "graduated" from an inner city zoo.

@whoo689 Some people seem to get "lucky" & find jobs 3 days before unemployment runs out. Wonder why unemployment benefits used to average 14 weeks, but now that they have been extended, average 40+ weeks. People don't live comfortably on welfare in the Detroit area--they supplement with jobs under the table, stealing, & untaxed sales of contraband. Many "disadvantaged" have upgraded to become legal experts on "the system". Lib foundations are paying people to register voters at the UE offices..

Excuse me... 75% of my town believes the government owes them. 75% of my town is on total government assistance. Why because they would rather sit at home and play Disney games on the Wii video game console than earn their dollar.
