G-man's right. Back in 1996 TANiF was implimented to convert welfare reform into a work based program. In fact if NYS, and really any state, wants to continue to get federal funding for "workfare" (as its sometimes called) there are quotas that each state must meet - i.e., percentages of number of people working in a household; hours spent in school by the recipient, etc. If those quotas (really eligibility requirements that must be met by each individual applicant for welfare) are not met by the state, federal funding can be pulled. Food stamps, public assistance, etc. are not just freely given - the federal govenment dictates to the states what regulations must be implimented in order to get federal funding. The states can interpret/taylor the federal regs accordingly.
Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi
