Hahaha, another schizophrenic post by a liberal. Quote ” When people call me on my time, I tell them to call me at work, or pay me. I prefer to donate my time on my own schedule. I donate my time when I wish - and the same with my money”.
Looks to me like you subscribe to the “EVIL PROFIT MOTIVE” after all, you UGLY CAPITALIST PIG. Furthermore, you shout one thing yet do the exact opposite. Thats clearly brain damage.

We all have to take time off sometime. I have no problem with my ethical and moral structure, as I'm sure you wouldn't if you had one.

Lifetime cap on welfare is still 5 years

That doesn't include state and local welfare payments which can extend well beyond the 5 year federal limit.. which I'll bet has loopholes.

Yes, folks, in part she blames the fact that she killed a person because of the car he drove. She drove a huge-ass car, was well aware that the country road wasn’t well-lit, the intersection didn’t have the best of design (consistent with many country roads), and was talking with her friend rather than paying attention in spite of the conditions - but it’s the fault of the corvair he drove.

You forgot the part about the stop sign being too small…

...now that was silly of her. I thought the standard size stop sign would be enough for all but maybe Laura is on to something here. We can save millions of lives by increasing the size of the stop sign from 3 feet in diameter to 10 feet. LOL

This is from 2002 but the site has a link to current stats though not as detailed.

States have broad flexibility in designing time-limit policies, in large part because the federal time limit does not apply to state-funded benefits. Currently, 40 states have time limits that can result in the termination of families’ welfare benefits; 17 of those states have limits of fewer than 60 months. However, nearly half the national welfare caseload is in states that either have no time limit (2 states) or a time limit that reduces or modifies benefits when the limit is reached (8 states and the District of Columbia).
