30,000 children face destitution from welfare cut in Michigan

On September 6, Republican Governor Rick Snyder signed into law a new lifetime limit of 48 months for receiving cash welfare benefits in the state of Michigan.

Putnam also stressed, “A lot of these folks are working,” she said. “They just don’t make enough money to even leave the cash assistance rolls.” In order to qualify for the assistance, families of three have to earn less than $814 a month, or 44% below the government’s already impossibly low federal poverty level. “So a lot of people are trying. We know that there are a lot of low-paying jobs out there.”

Ok, real simple math here. If just ONE parent is working 40 hours a week at minimum wage, they earn $1160 a month, and don't qualify anyway.

This is all horseshit.

Don't have children you can't afford. Grow a vegatable garden. Learn how to cook, a bag of flour, lard, and salt pork can go a long way.

They try to twist this like they're ending welfare. But they're not, they're just putting into effect a 4 year limit. Now, how in the fuck can you not get your shit together in 4 years?!?!?

Black America's propensity for creating broken homes will have much needed cruel consequences. This is needed to cull out stupidity. Carry on. The White Man has awoken.
