New AZ law - Welfare ends after 12 months

[Meathead]

Poor people need to stop having kids. With the ready availability of birth control and abortion there is no excuse for it

For his sake, I hope your son's wishes have not come to fruition.

I have no children another false assertion crashes and burns....

True, you would have to get laid first. Never-the-less, if you were to have a child, I would hope he would not have the misfortune suggested in your post. Your fate is clear, yet any child has a chance not to be an asshole.

another false assertion crashes and burns

Seriously, would you want a child of yours to be an asshole?! If you do ever get laid, would you want the fruit of your loins to be an asshole?!

He has a chance!

lol! the better question would be when have I not gotten laid...30 years in show you'd have to have no dick not to.
(place false assumption comment about sexuality here)

meaning what makes up an asshole is completely subjective..

OK, so English is not your first language and you have not gotten laid. I will try to make it clear to you in the conditional (complicated in all languages, but understandable).

If you ever get laid and have a child as a result. I would hope the child would not be an asshole like yourself.

You never know, but unlike you, he has a chance.

I guess you and reality have never met.
my English is fine
but you just keep on wishing that your false assertions are correct ....
someone with your obsession about getting laid must still be a virgin.....

Please, you're either black or a recent immigrant idiot to write like that. Whatever, just pray any kids you have, if you ever get laid, does better.

Congratulations, Arizona ---- a step in the right direction !

Most of your kind are whining because others don't want to pay for your birth control and think conservative are to blame for the mamas with 10 baby-daddies.

Learn English, you idiot.

HEY! In accordance with the new DOJ mandate, we are an equal opportunity discussion board. We allow idiots, illiterates, and ingrates to participate, We are not allowed to cull the participants by IQ or SAT scores (even though we have some who think SAT stands for Stupidity Application Testing).

You best be careful, or Loretta Lynch ('em all) will be comin' for your worthless honky ass!

“The cuts of at least $4 million reflect a prevailing mood among the lawmakers in control in Arizona that welfare, Medicaid and other public assistance programs are crutches that keep the poor from getting back on their feet and achieving their potential.”

Arizona sharply limits welfare to 12 months

Ignorant, unsubstantiated nonsense – it's this sort of blind adherence to errant, failed conservative dogma that renders most on the right incapable of responsible governance

'Long-term welfare recipients are often the most vulnerable, suffering from mental and physical disabilities, poor job histories and little education, she said. But without welfare, they'll likely show up in other ways that will cost taxpayers, from emergency rooms to shelters to the criminal justice system, Schott said.

"The reason they are on public assistance is because many of them are not really succeeding in the workforce," said Schott, a senior fellow at the Center of Budget and Policy Priorities, a non-partisan research organization.' ibid

Exactly.

This unwarranted measure is solely punitive, and will only end up costing Arizona taxpayers more in the long run.

Rather than seeking to punish those on public assistance who are receiving benefits through no fault of their own, every state should instead invest in employment and training programs allowing low income individuals and families to become self-sufficient.

All Arizona republicans are doing – as are other republican in other states – is making the situation worse, prolonging poverty, and exacerbating the problems faced by the most vulnerable members of society.

You get the prize for the biggest crock of shit of the day.

 

[Politico]

The Legislature also passed a law seeking to force anyone getting Medicaid to have a job, and cutting off those benefits after five years. And Republican leaders are suing their own state to block a centerpiece of President Barack Obama's health care law, which expanded Medicaid to give more poor people health insurance.

If they prevail, more than 300,000 poor Arizonans could lose their coverage.

Just more evidence that Republicans hate poor people - even if it doesn't cost the state anything.

Yeah, it's crazy. Arizona is going to be a toilet of crime.

Going to be? Bless your heart.

If they'd toss out all the illegal aliens collecting benefits there'd be money for poor CITIZENS.

Facing 1 Billion Deficit Arizona Sharply Limits Welfare - US News

may 18 2015
PHOENIX (AP) — Facing a $1 billion budget deficit, Arizona's Republican-led Legislature has reduced the lifetime limit for welfare recipients to the shortest window in the nation.

Low-income families on welfare will now have their benefits cut off after just 12 months.

As a result, the Arizona Department of Economic Security will drop at least 1,600 families — including more than 2,700 children — from the state's federally funded welfare program on July 1, 2016.

The cuts of at least $4 million reflect a prevailing mood among the lawmakers in control in Arizona that welfare, Medicaid and other public assistance programs are crutches that keep the poor from getting back on their feet and achieving their potential

Most states impose a five-year limit on welfare benefits. Thirteen states limit it to two years or less, and Texas has a tiered time limit that can be as little as 12 months but allows children to continue to receive funding even after the parents have been cut, welfare policy analyst Liz Schott said.

That newspaper shows its bias when they write: "Arizona Republican Legislature...". It's not the Republican legislature, it's the Arizona legislature. You never read "Democrat voting thugs rioted in Ferguson...". When the media stops editorializing on the front page, I will consider buying a paper again. Until then, I want the media to bleed green.

Cancel your newspaper.

Republicans should love that. They're not interested in birth control either. Let me rephrase that - they're not interested in letting women have access to it.

. Do you want to show proof of that stupid statement? One piece of legislation?

 

[Kondor3]

Look for them to move to Cali

Plenty of room left for Illegal Aliens in the People's Democratic Socialist Republic of Kalipornia...

They're so in-love with Illegals... let's send 'em all there...

That should send Kalipornia Progressives into a veritable tizzy of multiple orgasms of Socialist delight...

That, or we could just move to take-over lower Baja, and send all the Illegals there, as a staging area, prior to nudging them back across the borders...

Hell, we can send the Kalipornia Socialists down to lower Baja along with their beloved clientele...

Setting the stage for a return to sanity in California...

Oh, and we need to leave room for the worst of the Idiot Democrats in Illinois, as well, if it's not too much trouble...

Illegals + Kalipornia Progressives + Illinois Progressives, all squeezed into Lower Baja...

WIn-Win-Win...

Yeah, it's crazy. Arizona is going to be a toilet of crime.

So we should force the taxpayers to provide them with an income so they won't commit crimes? Sounds like extortion.

What do you think the purpose of welfare is, dope?

It's to give people a hand up until they can take care of themselves. Not a lifetime support system allowing people to be slothful.

sloths don't have a problem with it.
funny thing is, working Americans collect welfare too.

Depends on the type of welfare.

Oh good, homeless people desperate and destitute are MUCH better than housed and fed ones. Not like people turn to crime or anything when situations become dire.

Anyone thought to audit state expenses to see where the deficit came from?
