The Liberal Welfare State

The Heritage Foundation exposed a widening of the welfare state incorporated in the "Stimulus Bill" that speeds the drift away from the Republic our forefathers envisioned. (The following from their website)

The 1996 welfare reform bill changed the way government treated welfare. But last week the Left reverted back to the liberal welfare state in the “stimulus” bill. Hidden in the bill was a massive increase in welfare spending. While the 1996 reforms gave states more money if they moved people OFF welfare, the new policy gives states more money if more people stay ON welfare
