I'm all for welfare. I just don't want it so freely handed out. I don't want the help to be grossly abused. I see this all the time.

Yes....I see it to....it's pennies compared to corporate welfare......

I think those abuses should be addressed first.

A welfare queen refers to a woman who collects welfare checks, or excess amounts, through fraud or manipulation. Sensational reporting on (what would become known as) welfare queens began during the early-1960s, appearing in general interest magazines such as Readers Digest. The term entered the American lexicon during Ronald Reagan's 1976 presidential campaign when he described a "welfare queen" from Chicago's South Side.[1] Since then, it has become a stigmatizing label placed on recidivist poor mothers, with studies showing that it often carries gendered and racial connotations.[2][3] Although women can no longer stay on welfare indefinitely, the term continues to shape American dialogue on poverty.

Over a period of about five years, Reagan told the story of the "Chicago welfare queen" who had 80 names, 30 addresses, 12 Social Security cards, and collected benefits for "four nonexisting deceased husbands," bilking the government out of "over $150,000." The real welfare recipient to whom Reagan referred was actually convicted for using two different aliases to collect $8,000. Reagan continued to use his version of the story even after the press pointed out the actual facts of the case to him.

ehhhhh remember.....Congress needs the 2/3 majority to over ride the veto. It's called 'balance of powers' and that's the reason Democrats haven't been able to accomplish anything in Congress for the past two years without huge compromises. Cuz there's too many Republicans AND a Republican president. So then the bill can't get passed. See how easy that is to remember?
No one in our system of government has the "ultimate power"....well except for Cheney of course.
Has anyone kept track of how many squillion times we've pointed this out on these threads??

Is this his way of stating that he wants to eliminate "Child Support
Enforcement Agencies"?

Children should receive the child support paid by their parents, and the government should not keep the money to recover welfare costs

A non-negotiable commitment to Africa (Religious Doctrine #4)

"Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the black community."

""The term “welfare queen” comes from Ronald Reagan when he ran for president in 1976. He told the story of a black woman who made $150,000 from gaming welfare. She drove a Cadillac, he informed us.

He will tax us all into the poor house, so forget the cost of gas, we wont be driving cars. Hes going to send us back to the horse and buggy days.

Do you think a Hillary supporter or McCain supporter did this...

Was Bill Clinton in Florida?

I think it's great that Senator Barack Hussein Obama is loyal to his race and religious beliefs

With a little more campaigning, money and "car attacks" he will be successfully placed in the white house where he belongs so he can rightfully make reparations to those people he feels closest to.

You guys are pitiful. Deal with it! President Bush screwed up sooooo bad that the country is about to elect a black man to the Presidency....it's okay....black people don't want revenge for slavery, Jim Crow racism or anything else for that matter.

Uh, 1976 was Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford. Reagan beat Carter in 1980, and began his office January 20, 1981.
