He should just say that we are going to end welfare as we know it. Then stand back to avoid the splatter from exploding liberal heads.
He should allow states and cities to create economic development zones where the minimum wage is ZERO. These zones could have tax incentives thrown in and would easily replace welfare as a training ground, income source, and a first-step opportunity to leave poverty behind. It would turn leeches into contributors as well as help build self-pride in those who end up working. Why should government pay the bills when we can have private enterprise do most of the work?
