Oh, the irony

GOP passed a bill that ends welfare work requirement.

It takes a lot of brass to do that and then turn around and accuse the president of gutting welfare reform.

WHAT! That must be a LIE! The GOP would NEVER gut welfare reform.

Actually it allows states to rewrite the rules on WIC as well, this much worse.

I'm pretty sure the GOP strategy is to run a non-reality based campaign this year. They feel they can say anything and even if they get called on it it just doesn't matter.

Lunacy!

Such a gambit would require huge swathes of ignorant voters that believe anything that they are told. Luckily this is America.
 
All y'all's concern about ending work requirements is touching. We all know that state experimentation to explore possible solutions is vastly inferior to a single command-and-control from Washington based on functioning complex structures in our mind that must therefore work that way "out there, you know, in the real world."

Also, transparently, most states will end work requirements rather than strengthen them, because so much of the general population is pressuring legislators to get rid of the requirements.

Good thing, those work requirements never worked. Find a job, lose your benefits, hope you're making more than the benefits or else you get to lose your house.

Well that's what Mitt Romney's has been "concerned" about in his attack ads.

It's called being hoisted by one's own petard.

You can't have it both ways. Either it's a ridiculous charge, or Republicans are every bit as guilty of it as the president. Which is it?

Sure you can have it both ways... no further than some of the resident Republican wingnuts to see that you only need to ignore enough of the facts until everything lines up.

Odd you didn't mention Tang

When the subject of space (which we also invented) comes up, Tang will organically enter the conversation as we discuss the fine AMERICAN astronauts that saved your asses from space Hitler.

As a Reptoid, Mitt Romney's people aided in that victory, which is why they were naturalized as U.S. citizens.

And thus the thread comes back full circle, enjoying a refreshing glass of Tang along the way.

False dilema.

No Mitt Romney is a hypocrite

"Well, I'm not sure exactly what President Clinton will say, but there's no question that President Obama's decision to say that we're going to allow waivers or excuses from work requirements in welfare was designed to shore up part of his base that may not be inclined to go out and vote in the same kind of energy and passion as they did four years ago.

"And, I think putting a measure that would take work out of welfare and waiving the work requirement in welfare is an extraordinary political move on his part, and one which I disagree with. My own view is that we should have greater work requirements with welfare, not less." -Mitt Romney Sept. 5, 2012
