House Republicans plan to advance a welfare-reform bill that requires recipients to find and retain jobs, saying too many states allow potential workers to remain idle.
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady scheduled a Wednesday mark up of the JOBS for Success Act, which requires states to describe how they’re using federal funds to link people with work, rather than just detailing how much is spent.
Welfare funding would also be oriented toward things like child care and job training.
House GOP leaders are pitching it as the final plank of the 2016 agenda they rolled out during the last election cycle, when Republicans snatched every lever of political power in D.C.

House GOP’s latest push: Get welfare recipients into jobs
ReplyDeleteI agree 100%!
I have seen people who work and still get welfare. They pump out babies like it's nothing and then run to the welfare and complain they do not make enough money to take care of those kids. They should be told not to have more kids than they can afford. Don't make other people pay for YOUR mistakes. Also people move their mother or father or both into their house and get welfare for them too. All they have to do is claim they provide care for them. They know how to abuse the system.
ReplyDeleteWhat about people who get money for babysitters and have someone in the neighborhood watch them for half the money and the parent stuffs the rest into their pocket? Never, never give them cash. Make them go to reputable sitters who have a license and the welfare pay them direct. Lots, and lots of abuse.
