Screw the poor...

An unnamed conservative dipstick said something about Hillary luring folks in with the usual liberal schpiel about a life of ease through subsidies (suggestions of welfare? Oh, my...). Hah... Just more of the same ingrained mantras...

True, throughout the '80s (gee, who was president then?) welfare had been spiraling into a culture of entitlement, but was substantially reformed in 1996, when President Bill Clinton signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 into law, to take people off of the welfare rolls.


There have been years and years that have elapsed where the Republicans have had every opportunity to remedy Welfare and SSI abuses, but they have instead demonstrated a complete lack of will. The only recent event even remotely qualifying as an attempt at reform has come at the hands of a Democrat.The irony. How can so-called conservatives still respect themselves?
