Federal Deficit Reduction Act - what a crock of shit! Look what kind
of shit this administration is using to 'reduce' their deficit:
____________________________________________________________________
Financing
Rules
Welfare families are automatically
enrolled free of charge in the CSE
program. Nonwelfare families must
apply for CSE services, and states must
charge an application fee that cannot
exceed $25.

Requires families that have never been on
TANF to pay a $25 annual user fee when
child support enforcement efforts on their
behalf are successful (i.e., at least $500
annually is collected on their behalf).
Effective October 1, 2006.

Well, I get $100.00 a month for my 15 year-old son. The feds just helped themselves to their $25.00.

Can't tax a rich man but can sure clip everyone else. And this shit wasn't needed before bush**

1. When did this start?
I was a state social worker in the 90's, there was no fee for CSE!

2. That is the biggest crock
So your $25/year is going to help reduce the deficit?

If you apply for TANF, even if denied, can you avoid the $25 fee? I know it's more of a headache, but I am all for trying to beat them at their own game!

4. I've always said
Republicans never increase taxes, they increase fees.
