I don’t understand the thinking of liberals who like Hillary Clinton. Twenty years ago, Bill Clinton dumped the New Deal Aid to Families with Dependent Children. In her autobiography Hillary wrote that she agreed with Bill, because the New Deal had “helped to create generations of welfare-dependent Americans.” Robert Pear of the NY Times points out that this led to a withering away of help to parents who have trouble feeding their kids.
A more recent Federal law now restricts payments to care for children to five years at maximum. Arizona can and will lower that to one year. “It really feels like a hatred of poor people,” the Times quoted one state representative. “It’s just mean.”
The Clintons did great damage to our New Deal system of support for impoverished families. Talk to a social worker. That’s one example in one area of why I find Hillary toxic. At this point I will have to support Hillary in November, but I’m not lying to myself about her history or the damage the Clintons have done.
