7. There is no welfare, Newt and Bill killed that in the nineties, there is now "temporary assistance"

AKA "welfare to work" and it varies from state to state, in NY where I live, no matter what, you can only receive it for two years and they only allow about $375 a month for rent and all utilities, also, if you can do menial labor, they will put you to work in a program for 40 hours a week (with no extra money besides your initial grant), they have turned it into a form of slave labor, Clinton thought this was what was best for the people, so does our current party leadership.

It is what it is, there is no welfare anymore, get used to that idea and all the poverty and slave labor that goes with it.

No Democrats appear to have a problem with that, none at all.
The journey to the darkside is almost complete.
