[QUOTE="faulkton, post: 3506163, member: 561910"] Well i feel sorry for you if you seriously believe she intends to implement such a program. It's meaningless political pandering. I like a lot of ideas, doesn't mean i would actually try to implement them if i was the president. Ok, great that is exactly what i was hoping you would do. Provide an example i could pick apart and show the flaws in your reasoning. Using the numbers you provided, a mother of two kids who works 15 hours a week and earns $180, would be eligible for about [B]ZERO [/B]dollars in TANF payments in your home state of Arizona. Should she earn $50 a week, she is likely to qualify for the TANF program. State policy requires a job search before most applicants can receive regular TANF benefits. The average TANF cash payment in Arizona was $278 a month for last year reported. That would bring her total monthly income to $478 a month for a family of three. Hardly enough to survive. Should she earn much more than $50 a week, she will lose her cash benefit. There is also a 60 month LIFETIME time limit on benefits in Arizona (and most states). TANF is [B]Temporary [/B]Assistance for [B]NEEDY[/B] Faimlies...and you have to be pretty fukkin' needy to get any money at all. What you describe might sound nice when you hear it on Rush Limbaugh, but when you actually take a look at the programs and the people using them, it is hardly the truth. [/QUOTE]
