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.
...let’s change the name of Sheila Jackson Lee to “huh?”
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?
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.”
a mystery photograph eh!!
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.
I eliminated homelessness.
I call them ‘urban campers’ .
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.
It is a way to keep her constituents on the plantation forever.
Face it, welfare is a way of life for many people. They get free money, free housing, free cable TV, free Obamaphones, free medical care and free food. Why work?
Fifty years after President Johnson started a $20 trillion taxpayer-funded war on poverty, the overall percentage of impoverished people in the U.S. has declined only slightly and the poor have lost ground under President Obama.
Aides said Mr. Obama doesn’t plan to commemorate the anniversary Wednesday of Johnson’s speech in 1964, which gave rise to Medicaid, Head Start and a broad range of other federal anti-poverty programs. The president’s only public event Tuesday was a plea for Congress to approve extended benefits for the long-term unemployed, another reminder of the persistent economic troubles during Mr. Obama’s five years in office.
Surely, they can find an intelligent Black to support!
