I guess the news of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity

In theory anyway.......

I find it almost laughable, in a sick sort of pathetic way, that these
people have the balls to complain about the "work" that they now have to
do to get their welfare money. I also wonder just how strict the people at
the "workfare" office are about making sure these people are actually
"working".


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"welfare" is outdated and has been for years.

First off, each state is able to override many of the federal
guidelines, and continue to fund state run welfare programs.

A primer on what you can expect can be seen he

Also, if I remember correctly, the program was set to expire in 2002.
So my "outdated" view of welfare may be "in style" once again.....
