More like face sanctions sometimes for three months for being non-compliant in their assigned work duties. Furthermore, TANFs work programs rarely move parents into jobs that lift their families out of poverty. [TANFs "early years" witnessed unprecedented declines in the number of families receiving cash assistance and declines in poverty.] However, the TANF caseload has failed to adequately respond to need. That last line should spell it out for you, and why do you think that it has failed to adequately to the need. Hmm? I went over it and explained clearly how Clinton's initiative is currently being skirted. Yet you want to cling onto the notion.. perhaps the reason why you were so persistent had something to do with your sarcastic tone? When you asked me if I was sleeping. This reads like you had NO idea that this was all undone by Obama. Naturally, you wouldn't know because you have no need for these kinds of social services. The fact that had to cutout the url and much of what I said proves that I was right. Most of us know that you and people like you never want to admit that you were wrong, specially by someone like me.
