I said, for instance, that even if you have a child two years of age, you need to go to work. And people said, ‘Well that’s heartless,’ and I said ‘No, no, I’m willing to spend more giving daycare to allow those parents to go back to work. It’ll cost the state more providing that daycare, but I want the individuals to have the dignity of work.

Mitt Romney is the gift that keeps on giving.

Ezra Klein points out that - although Romney said this week, “I happen to believe that all moms are working moms” - as Governor, he signed into law a “work requirement” for mothers seeking TANF:
If you’re a poor mother in Massachusetts and you go to sign up for TANF, you’ll see you need to fulfill a “work requirement.” And you cannot fulfill it by being “a mom.” And that’s because of policy that Romney signed into law in Massachusetts, and Bill Clinton signed into law nationally.
That law has seen some real successes: The poverty rate for single mothers is lower now than before the legislation passed in 1996, and the labor-force participation rate is higher. Both parties brag about it routinely. But those numbers are only successes if you believe, as both parties do, that being a stay-at-home mother is not the same as working.

Dear Mittens,
It’s time you stop wiping your ass with freshly minted $100 bills and start giving a shit about people and their kids living poverty. You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. You really need to going into impoverished areas and see what it’s really like, how much things cost vs how much money they make.

Via STFU, ConservativesSure the exact same thing could have, and probably would have, happened under a government run system. Maybe. But you know what? I could live with it knowing that the money they “saved” would be used for a medical procedure for someone else. That’s not what happens now, though, is it? No. What happens now, is that health insurance providers try to save money at their victims’ customers’ expense to pay out enormous bonuses and profits to stockholders.
