LANSING (WWJ) - Could this mean the end of welfare as we know it?
A bill has passed in the Michigan Senate that would require those receiving public assistance to do some

I usually support such measures. I think people are happier working whether they realize it or not. Volunteer work could build job skills etc. Now I read this on Drudge and think "Oh. So that's how the Dems will create our Socialist society. Support bills requiring "the poor" to work. Have the government support those who do. Then...make us all poor. Income redistribution."
It’s already happening. In many schools across the nation, requirements for a HS diploma include xx hours of volunteer work.
About time, and anyone on food stamps can get off their ass , do community work , after all the left and bozo loves helping the community as well as Sharpton, Jackson etc.
Also those on food stamps should only fruit and veggies, no more soda’s, chips and other junk food.
I’m waiting for keep fit Michelle to announce and push healthy food for those on welfare .
Not holding my breath though
“State Sen. Vincent Gregory, D-Southfield, thinks the bills take aim at people who are already suffering their lowest moments.
“These people, they already need as much money as they can get, they wouldn’t be asking for it if they didn’t need it,” he said. “
How utterly simplistic. If they didn’t need it they wouldn’t ask for it. How does he expect anyone to take him seriously?
““These people, they already need as much money as they can get, they wouldn’t be asking for it if they didn’t need it,” he said. “
Thats true in some cases, the ones where people are just down on their luck.
In the majority of cases where families have lived on welfare for generations there is an expectation of a gubbermint check.
Just wait until Obama and his puppet master have completed “fundamentally transforming” the USA
Do you think they will allow people to sit around on their ass collecting free money?
FORCED LABOR CAMPS are a hallmark of socialist/communist countries!
and who would they work for if there are no jobs?
Just handing them cash is better than making them all government foot soldiers.
drug dealers?
Wait’ll some scumbag Democrat judge gets this in his court.
lol
No. Make them work. Make them government foot soldiers, since that's all the Democrat parasites deserve to be.
Screw them.
Redistricting is good to me in 2014 for state senate. I will trading from far leftist Rebekah Warren from Ann Arbor to the guy who wrote this bill.
Obama. Contributions in kind to the “Obama Legacy.” I imagine they’ll be pressed into service for free in areas rolling out Obamacare or other areas which would ordinarily be paid positions serving the goals of the administration.
That ain't free.
No. It’s not free. But it won’t be counted as donations to the never ending Obama campaign. Obama will have his own worker bees off the books.
“How utterly simplistic.”
How utterly moronic is more like it. The guy has no clue about human nature. How can we pick such idiots to run our lives?
Good. Does this mean the ROP freeloaders too?
“and who would they work for if there are no jobs?”
I can think of a few neighborhoods in Detroit that could use some trash picked up.
