President Obama Admits Welfare Encourages Dependency

Posted on July 9, 2011 by Conservative Byte

During his Twitter Townhall on Wednesday, President Obama admitted that government welfare has created dependency. He noted:

I think we should acknowledge that some welfare programs in the past were not well designed and in some cases did encourage dependency. . . . As somebody who worked in low-income neighborhoods, I’ve seen it where people weren’t encouraged to work, weren’t encouraged to upgrade their skills, were just getting a check, and over time their motivation started to diminish. And I think even if you’re progressive you’ve got to acknowledge that some of these things have not been well designed.

Ted, nice of that columnist to miss the entire point of Orrin Hatch's remarks.

It's all about jobs. Not tax rates.
