Now that the Democrats are in control of congress how long will it take before we can all get back on welfare?

You will probably have to wait for a Democrat president too.

Just for the record, the republicans passed the first welfare reform in 1995. President Clinton vetoed it twice. Only after his adviser Dick Morris convinced him that he needed to sign it or risk his reelection chances did Clinton put it through. After it was seen as a stunning success, President Clinton reversed his position and started taking credit for it.

Using mocking cynicism is no substitute for having real ideas, political discussion is the ability to think out, substantiate and defend often complex proposals, rather than attempting to take a cheap swat at the opposition. It would probably be better for you to keep your mouth closed if all you are inclined to do is expose your cynicism. It would at least lead you to less embarassment and perhaps even higher self esteem. This type of provocation is not the solution it exactly defines the problem

I signed up yesterday and celebrated with Night Train and a 40 ouncer of Schlitz Malt Liquor.

The first 100 hrs they already promised to F all America the first 100 hrs

Interestingly enough, it was while a Democrat was in office that welfare was practically eliminated.

You should get your facts straight.

Sounds like that's just what you are waiting for . Maybe you should try to pick up old gay men to earn an extra few bucks

well whatever happens, 50+% of Americans voted for it, so it had to be better than the alternative!!

considering the fact that it was a democrat who pushed for the welfare reform you see now, it is a pretty good bet, you are clueless!

ah wasn't it the dems who pushed for welfare reform? Gee, make sure you know what you are talking about.

did I miss something? you seem to be implying that people got off welfare?

what did Republicans do to get people off of welfare? or well, do in general?
