This came to my mind too. Before speculating anything I want to find out the other side to this story. I think this article is far too biased to take seriously.

Depends on the state and county district. Some of them truly need more money and the result will be much more efficient public education. Others are in much greater need of learning how to spend that money wisely.
Hehe I should have caught that one.
I just always try to debunk the idea that providing extra funding to public schools is a waste of money. I also try to debunk the idea that giving them more money is a guarantee for success. Those are two of the most popular opinions to have and they are also two of the least informed opinions.

Ya I was serious with that 1st post guys. I am not scared more relieved than anything. I kinda in my heart thought America would be taken because its people grew bad.
I feel better about the fact . Its not because were bad. Its because we trusted in men and put faith in men . Who have decieved us . Now they plan on getting rid of all with courage and conscience.
I was telling trueth about the camp. There suppose to be over 300 going up all over the US. I sent my daughter to india. When she got back she was just freaked. She said things are not good over there out all. Now I am sending both kids out 1 west the other east . To get pic of other camps we been told about. If they are indeed there. My wife and kids are both quiting jobs. Wife will take her 401K now cash out take the hugh penelity. Thats It. We won't pay in any more were just going to take. Well enjoy the time we have left together and make the most of it. I pray they are strong when I am not there with them . But this party is over. The Math on Oil usage Vs. reserves doesn't lie. The Math on Population growth isn't a lie. More and More pics are coming in of the hugh whatever it is close to the sun at sunrise and sundown . Its there I don't care what you believe. So your eyes are lieing to ya.
Heres how they want to handle protesters in the US now . Think about it .

My mother, sister, brother and myself grew up on welfare...we were as poor as dirt but we were NOT trapped. People who want to make something of their lives...do it, those who don't...don't. Being "trapped" is more a matter of choice than most admit.
90% of welfare recipients are single mothers and their children.
A good portion of the remainder is disabled.
That argument aside... the funding to community organizing was cut weeks ago.

Everyone's situation is different. Some have it easier than others. It would be much better if we had more jobs that these people could do and not be making minimum wage or just a tad over that.
A lot of people forget that most do not want to rely on social services. It is not a happy life.

Well, although National Review does have some insightful articles from time to time, this is not one of them. It reeks of partisan hackery. Gotta love those unjustified swipes at "ACORN and the rest of the 'community organizing' gang". Sensationalism FTL.
I for one would like to see proof of this. The article didn't cite anything. Personally, I agree that this act was necessary to keep welfare programs in check, however, I disagree that they systemically reduced poverty. Like it has been said on this forum and in many other places, nobody stays poor for the government incentives. We were in the middle of an economic boom, so it was much easier to lift yourselves up by your bootstraps. In the middle of a bad recession like this one, not so much. We do need to review welfare from time to time to see what is working. To say that this stimulus is looking to reverse this act seems to be a lot of FUD.

As much as I liked Clinton , this was one of the worst things he did, signing this bad bill.
How about a 5 year limit on those receiving the mortgage interest deduction on their taxes?
How about a 5 year limit on contractors receiving tax dollars?
Most of you have no idea how little welfare pays, or how hard it is to jump through the hoops to get it. If it is such easy money I suggest you quit your job and apply for welfare.

Poverty has been declining since LBJ declared war on poverty, although it has ticked upward under GWB.
Where's Bin Laden again?
The war on poverty is going extremely well, why do you ask? The poverty rate today is somewhere around 12%, which is approximately half the historical average prior to its start.
The Democrats are determined to continue ruining this country, but in a different style than that used by the Republicans.

Thanks....I like your 'real answer' better. Here's a table that shows the poverty levels since 1959. It appears that the dramatic drop in provety rate in the early 60's may be directly related to the huge growth of our economy during that period more than anything. More jobs, less povery....makes sense.
You folks should try actually reading others posts sometime. Instead of bickering in circles about nonsense.
