Perhaps you could share some evidence of this fraud? Your concept of
"welfare" is outdated and has been for years.

May not be his fault. One of the strongest weapons in the propaganda bag has
always been, "The liberals in government take your hard earned tax dollars, the
very bread off your family's dinner table, and give it to dark skinned people
who live in the housing projects so that *those* people don't have to work at
all.

What a racist thing to say.

The people the liberals give your money to all have large families,
because the more often a woman gets pregnanat and has a kid- regardless who the
father is or whether she even knows who the father is- the more money the
liberals will give her."

And it's still true.

You still hear this argument on the right wing radio shows, see it repeated in
public forums, etc. Since welfare was reformed under the Clinton
Administration,

You means the republican lead congress initiative that Clinton
attached himself to?

there are certain groups who would simply prefer to pretend it
never happened. The traditional
"woman cranking out babies on welfare" propaganda technique is too powerful to
abandon merely because it is no longer true.

It is still true. They may have to jump through a few more hoops, but
it's still happening in many places.
