Dems love to scream about the doomsday and end of the world scenarios they associate with changes to welfare. They label Republicans as heartless for daring to suggest working is a viable source of income instead of welfare.
Maine must be making liberal’s come unhinged as the welfare reform, put in place by Republican Gov. Paul LePage has been an enormous success, with welfare numbers dropping by 56, 506 people and unemployment also benefiting as well.
How one asks? What did they do? Read on page 2.
don’t they have it in all states now???
A Judge wrecked it?
I live in Maine and I work with people who have developmental disabilities and they are the ones hit hardest by this. He also stopped funding homeless shelters making cities pick up the tab. He has alienated himself. His own party here in Maine can hardly stand him.
He threatened to stop funding a school in Maine because they were going to hire a political rival as their head. Now he is being investigated for that. He has done NOTHING to make this state a better place. There is talk of impeachment from BOTH parties.
Candy coat it all you want to fit your agenda Your Nation, but at least use real facts. Maybe a source from Maine…nah that would be responsible journalism. You won’t find that here.
That is terrible. Fire that judge.
Both parties want to impeach him ? Must be doing something right. 🙂
Well then all the Obama impeachment talk must mean he is doing something right…
this is not just in main every state for the most part are doing this Easter Seals-Goodwill Working Solutions LOL here is a review of the program from there page First to Review
When you apply for food stamps at the Department of Health and Human Services, they’ll send you here if you’re unemployed. Their purposed is to help those who are unemployed attain employment so they are not living on the government. They are supposed to help you with resources so that you can have an easier time finding a job. Might as well not even waste your time!
They make you do 20 hours every two weeks of job related actives (whether it’s attending their classes which I’ll admit were slightly helpful, applying, interviews, or volunteer work) or they sanction you (basically cut you off of food stamps) They claim to provide you with bus passes or gas vouchers.
Well I went there as ordered, my case manager (the fat ugly winch who shan’t be named) was no help to me at all, I was sanctioned after only two weeks, and they refused to provide me with a bus pass to get to an interview , and I end up losing food stamp benefits.
Worst of all, my older brother didn’t go to this program, did absolutely nothing, hasn’t looked for a job, still has his food stamp benefits.
If you want to save yourself some time, and you’re food stamps, don’t even bother going to this load of c**p. Not only will they not provide any form of assistance in getting a stable job, but you’ll end up losing your food stamps.
You don’t really know what happened to these people. Unemployment rates do not reflect employed people, those benefits just ran out.
Complete dictatorship .
When you said “responsible journalism” you said it all, no such thing, why they all get on their knees and open wide for his teeny weinie is way beyond me……the ones who defend him and make excuses for him are the ones who around me
