William my friend. This one passed me over completely. I had to look to her Bio but there was no mention of her political allegiance, found another entry and discovered she is a DEMOCRAT. What a heinous crime, she also appears to be identified as a "QUEEN". No wonder you got up on the gopher mound and hollered blue murder. The shame of it all, a black woman getting a degree from Yale and a Democrat to boot. All this topped off by the lady being known as a Queen. William, this must be almost as bad as the sacking of Washington.
"Maybe the word welfare should be changed to something of, 'a transitional living fund.' For that is what it is -- for people to be able to live," she said.
Jackson Lee hailed the Earned Income Credit, food and nutrition programs, jobs training and education programs, Medicaid, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act as "huge safety nets -- not handouts, but safety nets, she said.
As part of her five-minute speech, she displayed a photo of people in a long line "who are possibly looking for work." Jackson-Lee said there's no way to know which of those people "are near the edge of poverty or living in poverty simply because they cannot find work."
She urged Congress to pass emergency unemployment insurance -- "a transitional outreach to individuals who are chronically unemployed," as she put it.
"Quite frankly, of all the wealthy nations, we have the lowest safety net and the highest poverty, because we're not willing to accept the fact that sometimes an American needs help. Even a veteran -- even a soldier.
"So today, I honor the 50th anniversary of the war on poverty, Mr. Speaker, and I ask us not to give up the fight because the American people are looking to us to win the war."
She regularly refers to her staffers as mo' fuckers. This is one classy bitch. Since Charlie Rangle and Barney Frank left DC she's filled in nicely as the biggest dirt bag. Yale should be so proud.
No joking here William, I can't seem to hear the pitch of this dog whistle message. Can you explain it?
ReplyDeleteQueen Shiela called welfare A transition living fund. Or how about when she said our constitution was 400 years old.
DeleteRemember when she took a limo around the corner to get her hair done. "You don't understand I'm a queen and I demand to be treated like a queen."
I don't remember that actually, but, fair enough.

Seems she actually said it.
