And certainly those who refuse to work or support their kids deserve it more than you do.

Republicans howled Wednesday when the Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee voted to stop denying food stamps to deadbeat parents and to the unemployed who refuse to get job training.

Gov. Jim Doyle proposed both measures in his new state budget and the finance panel refused to drop them on 8-8 party-line votes.

Don’t get a job. Don’t pay child support. Don’t worry – the taxpayer will take care of you.

Any wonder that we need to keep the Democrats from taking control nationally? Welfare reform will be DOA if they win the presidency next year.
