The End of Welfare Reform As We Know It....

I already know too many lay-abouts........can you imagine when it's no strings attached. But what bothers me the most is his end runs around Congress and the Constitution. He's above the law....so I think he is King.

Before the 1996 reform, welfare was a one-way handout: Government mailed checks to recipients who did nothing in return. The new program the reform law established, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), changed all that. It required able-bodied welfare recipients to work, prepare for work, or at least look for work as a condition of receiving aid. Welfare reform turned "welfare" into "workfare."
