I’m okay with that ... as long as they change the program to match that title.

The War on Poverty HAS been a great success....for the electoral chances of Democrats.

Most of them don’t understand “transitional” or it wouldn’t be such a problem.

Hmmm, good precedent.
Next, let’s change “President Obama” to “a mealy-mouth, lily-livered undereducated quota boy with no discernible morals or IQ”. We can introduce him with some appropriate (c)rap music.
Deal?

My thought as well...
Put a year limit on it at a time, with a lifetime limit of 3-5 years (just to wean them off),
then a generational limit of 10 years.
If your “momma” was on welfare for 5 years, and her mother was on welfare for 5 years, you’re SOL.

It’s a shame that some people have been “transitioning” for several generations now.

Five generations of dole dependence by your constituents is NOT “transitional” by any stretch of imagination.

Good idea for name change but ONLY if deadline is placed on usage...otherwise it empties the word “transitional” of meaning...and as for word “fund”...likewise an amount needs to be capped...not meant to be a never-ending source that treats govt as God or as a daily Santa.

she displayed a photo of people in a long line “who are possibly looking for work.”

I think it is time to start calling long term unemployment what it really-—WELFARE.

More ‘redefining’ of terms to make what is going on more palatable .... nothing new.
War on Terror = Overseas Contingency Operation
Terrorist attack = workplace violence
Liberalism/Leftist = progressive

I actually understand this. I don’t agree with it, but I do understand it.
So. No way SheJack came up with this idea. She is far too stupid to have conceived of such big ideas.

That’d be great. 2 years and you never get benefits again.

Hey, Sheila, no problem. Only make it transitional first.

If I were to quote Rep. Lee, I would be called a racist for mocking the intellectual level of black people.

...and said the "safety net has to be something for all of us."It is a way to keep her constituents on the plantation forever.
