Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.
Now not saying I agree with Ryan here (because he's not really "teaching" a man to fish, he's instead forcing a man to fish), just saying there's two sides to the discussion. Welfare isn't an area I've studied a whole lot.
This fish story has had it's day. Try to come up with something new. You republicans act like you're the only ones who work or pay taxes.
Not a Republican. Try to come up with something new yourself outside of this stupid left/right paradigm.
How about they just cut their benefits that are way over bloated???
Ayn Rand taught him that the poor are more motivated on an empty stomach
The problem with todays poor is that they do not suffer enough
you're the one dragging out old paradigms. The old teach a man to fish one. Used by republicans and others on the right for decades. Someone ought to teach paul ryan how to fish. He's been on the dole since he was a kid.
Only a libtard would think that instituting more stringent work requirements for food stamps and converting the program from a federal entitlement into a system of block grants means cutting food stamps.
You people are dishonest to the core.
Well what do you think...
...means?"instituting more stringent work requirements for food stamps and converting the program from a federal entitlement into a system of block grants"
The fact is, following his straight down the line, left-wing, anti-American, radical ideology, Obama does want to destroy the U.S.A. as it is now. But in his mind he is not trying to destroy America simply because he wants utter destruction and devastation to be the only outcome. You see, mere destruction isn't his end goal as those on the right fear. In his left-wing ideology, he thinks after Americas fall he and his left-wing comrades will be building a new and better U.S.A. Where real Americans see destruction and the end of everything, the leftists see a re-birth to a better and, in their eyes, more moral America. He and his left-wing friends see the U.S. as a Phoenix rising from the ashes of the bad old days.
Herein lies the problem. Where conservatives see only the end, liberals see the end and then a brand new beginning. Certainly the liberals are completely wrong in their contention that what they are doing will bring a glorious re-birth, but the truth is that they certainly don't think that they are ending the U.S. on a permanent basis nor is it their intention. Liberals are not in the game to be "evil." They think they are doing what is right.
Liberals think that the U.S. is arrogant and needs to be taken down a notch or three. Liberals think that U.S. history is filled with nothing but evil and any attacks on the U.S. are richly deserved. Liberals think that the U.S. was founded by evil, selfish, hateful white men who were only interested in their own power and didnt want to empower others. So, liberals want the founders memory eviscerated. Liberals think that our capitalist system needs to be eliminated. In short, liberals value nothing about the U.S. except its tradition of self-actuation, liberty, and its freedom to re-make itself and they want to use that capacity to erase everything that makes the U.S.A. the U.S.A. Once that is done they want to build a U.S. to their own liking using the very freedoms they used to lay her low.
Look at all the businesses and well off individuals in Somalia. Suffering works!
here we go, the same old fear mongering crap...
If they called for cutting ONE PENNY, this is the titles we would still be getting from the useful tool/troll/sheeps for the Democrat party
they are just so out of touch with the Amercian people who that now disapproves of THEM, their Dear Leader and Party

Does Obama Want To Destroy America? Yes, But? - Conservative Crusader
If you're not capable of being the small upper class of "winners", well, you're shit out of luck within the republican mind. Regulations that protect the lower class??? Bah hum bug, that needs to go!
Maybe you don't understand what kind of a shithole you would live in if America hadn't been involved in World War II.Yeah mon...agrarian communes, weed and pachouli power...for the common good!
There will always be CON$ervatives trying to game the systemOnly in America can you find people starving to death according to the left and have a horrendous obesity problem according to the left.
Which is it?
Food stamps cut to needy couple.
Alleged Swanky Swindlers Captured « CBS Miami
MIAMI (CBSMiami) A South Florida couple accused of living a lavish lifestyle while collecting food stamps and other forms of public assistance from the state of Florida and Minnesota have been captured at Port Everglades.
Prosecutors have described Colin Chisolm, III and his wife Andrea as, rich folks ripping off the system.
Authorities said the Chisolms committed fraud by receiving public assistance while living on a $1.2 million yacht while also collecting Medicaid, food stamps and cash welfare assistance from the state of Florida, while also collecting benefits from the state of Minnesota.
AWWWWW Now they'll have to STARVE!
I thought this ^ was the most stupid post ever written....Poverty should be so painful that any job is worth not living in poverty any more.
When I was growing up, we were poor before it became fashionable. We were homeless poor, no welfare eating out of garbage cans poor. It STILL wasn't enough to motivate my parents out of that kind of poverty. It was painful enough for me to get an education and skills.
Poverty should not be merely a lack of the comfort level you would prefer. It should really hurt. The problem with today's poor is that they have become comfortable in their poverty.
Along the way there were people who helped us. They gave us food, clothing, from time to time shelter. Of all people I have known, I grew to hate these do-gooders most of all. Our poverty was partly their fault. Had they not helped, maybe it would have been different. As long as there are people there to give, there will be people there to take.
Mathusian economics at its finest.
....Until I read this ^It means nudging those who are living spartanly but well enough on Welfare that they have no desire to work.
Cutting benefits slightly would disincentify those able bodied people to start working again.
But the Obama regime knows that if that happened then more, millions more, would criticize his programs, policies and philosophies which have hurt job creation and business growth.
Bottom line:
He wanted to hurt business.
He didn't want people to rise up against him for hurting business.
So he created a safety net for those who couldn't find work due to his programs and policies.
And why would he want to hurt business?
