Just too much partisan hatred from the conservatives. No matter what Pres. Obama does, the conservatives will show their partisan hatred.

Gotta disagree....there used to be rules to be followed as dictated in the bill.....now the feds are saying to the states...ignore them if you want...get a waiver.
The guts of this was this working thing and if you think it is not going to increase the rolls simply using imagination as to what constitutes "work"
I very seldom use Wiki for any link but in a bit of a hurry this morning but this sentence from there AND I SUGGEST YOU READ A BIT ON THE INTENT OF THIS BILL and the work rules...
"A central pledge of Clinton's campaign was to reform the welfare system, adding changes such as work requirements for recipients."
Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a big deal and I also suggest that you do some reading on the obscure clause and language used to do this...you had to search to usurp the true meaning of this and they did it !
