Truly the King of Spin you are!
I did display your entire words the first time I posted them. If you had read that post, we probably could have saved 5 pages of arguing  |
I have no idea what you are talking about.

We've also had to scale back our General Assistance benefits to the 2002 level. I cant tell you how many years welfare recipients didnt get a cost of living adjustment (COLA Increase)

Again, the 12.7 is historically very good and it was lower for the last three or four years, but you will never admit that though the facts clearly support it. W also is giving an unprecedented 14% of the budget to stop that number from rising anymore, but you will never admit that. All you can say is I have no idea what it is like to be poor, which does not negate any fact I proffered.
Regarding COLA - SSI has gotten one every year

I think you are talking about state programs, which are the realm of the state Gov. though the Feds do help them.
