I was pretty sure the WRA was federal. So basically Wayne doesn't know he's
ranting about something that was changed over 10 years ago.

Everybody is limited to 2 years at time on welfare with a lifetime limit of
5 years. You can still get food stamps which come from USDA and housing
assistance which comes from HUD and Medicaide and childcare assistance once
you're gainfully employed in that minimum wage job. Oh, and then you'll get
EITC.

Yeah, being on "welfare" is soooooooooooo lucrative these days.
