Bush’s welfare reform plan … would end the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program as well as the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program.
Says the man who for his entire life has had everything handed to him on a silver platter.

This is a super idea!. But let’s take it one step further.
I mean, why have the states mix any of their contributions with those of any other states? I say, let’s limit the amount of money that a state has for distribution to what is collected from within that state.
I’m looking at you, Tennessee.

So people will get knee-capped twice: at the federal level and the state level, where Republican governors already are hard up to cut those types of programs.

There is another super PAC supporting JEB! that doesn’t get as much attention as ‘Right to Rise’ that’s named ‘Right to crap on poor people.’

Solving the problems of poverty and hunger is easy – just banish the words poverty and hunger, replace both with freedom and opportunity. “Freedom and opportunity increase under Jeb! Administration”. Problem solved.

Block grants to states. Then just like the Medicaid sign up refusal so many Red State Governors exercised, poor people and children will be told by Alabama, Texas, Mississippi, et al to pound sand, their state isn’t applying for the block assistance grants.
Dig around your closets and find those goddamned boot straps God and the Founding Fathers gave you!!!

Let me get this straight. You’re going to revamp and rename the Federal food stamp program to the same name as that ineffectual, incompetent, money-wasting SuperPac of yours that’s got you at about 3%? Nice!

I’m always conflicted as to which Bush is the stoopidest. Today it’s Jeb in the lead but if I sit back and revisit his brother’s … whatever you want to call it, I can’t come to a hard answer. But today it’s Jeb with “transformative ideas to eliminate poverty.” Sounds like a Yogism.

Republican presidential candidate former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush ®
When I first saw that, my mind transposed to it to:
Former Republican presidential candidate Florida Gov. Jeb Bush ®
because he’s been irrelevant since being Trumped.

Work requirements and time limits for able bodied adults, eh? I’m sure some of the country’s greatest corporate citizens will heroically sacrifice hours of their employees’ time to ensure they can still qualify.

The eventual backlash from the donors who were talked into coughing up over $100M is going to be entertaining.

The evening arrived; the boys took their places. The master, in his cook’s uniform, stationed himself at the copper; his pauper assistants ranged themselves behind him; the gruel was served out; and a long grace was said over the short commons. The gruel disappeared; the boys whispered each other, and winked at Oliver; while his next neighbours nudged him. Child as he was, he was desperate with hunger, and reckless with misery. He rose from the table; and advancing to the master, basin and spoon in hand, said: somewhat alarmed at his own temerity:
‘Please, sir, I want some more.’
The master was a fat, healthy man; but he turned very pale. He gazed in stupified astonishment on the small rebel for some seconds, and then clung for support to the copper. The assistants were paralysed with wonder; the boys with fear.
‘What!’ said the master at length, in a faint voice.
‘Please, sir,’ replied Oliver, ‘I want some more.’
The master aimed a blow at Oliver’s head with the ladle; pinioned him in his arm; and shrieked aloud for the beadle.
The board were sitting in solemn conclave, when Mr. Bumble rushed into the room in great excitement, and addressing the gentleman in the high chair, said,
‘Mr. Limbkins, I beg your pardon, sir! Oliver Twist has asked for more!’
There was a general start. Horror was depicted on every countenance.
‘For MORE!’ said Mr. Limbkins. ‘Compose yourself, Bumble, and answer me distinctly. Do I understand that he asked for more, after he had eaten the supper allotted by the dietary?’
‘He did, sir,’ replied Bumble.
‘That boy will be hung,’ said the gentleman in the white waistcoat. ‘I know that boy will be hung.’
