Gov. Synder wants welfare cuts!

[Zacha341]

Indeed the fraud factor and lack of verification has accelerated these cuts! It was coming and for those who think the 'big-bad-wolf' in this is exclusive to Snyder, recall that Clinton signed in the fore-running welfare reforms initiative back during his presidency!

Yep, welfare was not to be a lifetime thing... And IRONICALLY it takes you just far enough to be more impoverished in later life... Talk to anyone who works in older adult services. Their case loads are full of such stories!!!

Many single woman now in their 50's, some having never worked, children now 'grown', no skills - and no more welfare proceeds for children.

That's a bad place to be, as the END of Welfare is the result, without a governors signature!! Democrat or Repub...

I am all for helping the needy. Welfare is a necessary thing. But it was not meant to be a lifetime benefit. It was meant to help people get on their feet and then move into the workforce. I am glad they are now going to enforce the limit for the cash payments. Leave the food stamps and stuff until gainful employment is found and families can sustain themselves, and then take those away too.

But another problem is enforcement...not enough people checking to see who is working and still collecting...or living with someone who works and still collecting...or listing children they don't have...etc. etc. etc. I feel that if they hired some of the unemployed as investigators and found a lot of the cheaters, they would save more money than they will kicking of those who need it badly.

IMHO :-)
