Interesting point would be interesting to see a study that correlates welfare with whether or not the people on welfare are transplants or not. Then we could really play blame the transplant.

Not sure if transplants are the ones receiving the most from welfare but the people sure know where to come to get it. Sorry, couldn't find any newer data but aren't the bubbles pretty?

Not just from around the country, but from around the world.

If you were down on your luck where would you want to try and survive? Too hot too cold too mean too prejudiced too little opportunity - or California? Pretty bubbles all right.

Not an ounce of sensitivity in my comments. It wasn't your original comment that got you in trouble. It was your erroneous assignations that followed. And followed. And followed. And followed. And followed. And

Quality of services? You living a struggling deprived life there in SF California?

Well kinda. To live in a place like we do. When you think on it.
And when I think back on where I lived before.

I'm more than willing to share the size of that bubble with other state/states.

Down on your luck or too lazy to work. One in the same. We make our own luck.

Welfare was designed to be a hand up, not a hand out but some long-time recipients see it differently. It's a way of life for them.

Even Oregon sends them our way. Tells them we pay bigger benefits and they might want to relocate. And they do!

12 million out of work ... about 4 million jobs open ... leaves about 8 million people "too lazy to work"?
No, we don't make our own luck. And Senno is partly right: there is a lifetime limit on welfare ... 5 years some places and as little as two years elsewhere ... in California it has now been shortened to four years ...
Quote:
"... in 2003 the vast majority of parents in California’s CalWORKs program who reached their sixty-month limit were working and playing by the rules when they timed off welfare for the rest of their lives. And this year, like many states, California shortened its lifetime limit to forty-eight months in response to budget shortfalls, despite having the second-highest unemployment rate in the country. As a result, 22,500 parents were permanently cut off the welfare rolls on July 1."
