You know what would be great for Obama and the Democrats to do now?

Introduce a bill rolling back welfare reform so that a stay-at-home mom can receive welfare.

Hey, the Republicans just spent a week ranting about how motherhood is a career. We should take them up on that so poor women can choose that career.

Bill Clinton did the biggest Welfare Reform of all time.. he made the Republicans proud.

No birth control.. no contraception.

But when the babies ARE born into this world.. they can count on no health care, no food, no jobs and no shelter.

Love the Fetus.. hate the children.

Maybe we can send young children to fight in Afghanistan.....

It could help the unemployment rates by taking parents off the unemployment rolls that want to stay with their children. It is better for the children to be with their parents rather than in substandard day care (good day cares are not always easy to find). It would take tax money and then put it back into the economy.
