Hoarding Welfare Funds Amid Rising Need in US
January 11, 2022
Save
The situation shows how President Bill Clinton’s 1996 welfare reform has failed families who badly need direct cash assistance, writes Hannah Dreyfus.
When Congress passed welfare reform in 1996, states were given more autonomy over how they could use federal funding for aid to the poor. They could demand welfare recipients find work before receiving cash assistance. They could also use their federal “block grants” to fund employment and parenting courses or to subsidize childcare.
Twenty-five years later, however, states are using this freedom to do nothing at all with large sums of the money.
According to recently released federal data, states are sitting on $5.2 billion in unspent funds from the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, or TANF. Nearly $700 million was added to the total during the 2019 and 2020 fiscal years, withHawaii, Tennessee and Maine hoarding the most cash per personliving at or below the federal poverty line.
States have held on to more of this welfare money amid rising poverty. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 16.1 percent of children under age 18 lived in poverty in 2020, up from 14.4 percent the year before. The poverty rate also ticked up for people aged 18 to 64, from 9.4 percent to 10.4 percent. As unused TANF dollars have accumulated, applications to the cash assistance program have waned, though it’s not for a lack of need, say experts and people who have applied to the program.
Unspent TANF Funds Have Doubled Over the Past Decade…
…While Approved Applications Have Been Cut in Half.
Bonnie Bridgforth experienced the counterintuitive reality of a state, Maine, that is stockpiling more welfare money while using less to help those in need.
Two weeks away from giving birth near the end of 2014, the stay-at-home mom was thrust into the role of sole income provider when her then-husband was convicted and sentenced to jail time for possession of child pornography. Her family of five was left without a regular paycheck.
Bridgforth, then 35, turned to the Maine Department of Health and Human Services, where a caseworker looked past her pregnant belly and told her that to get aid she’d need to meet the state’s requirement that she get a job. After explaining that it would be difficult to find employment with her due date weeks away and four children at home, Bridgforth was approved for $981 a month in cash assistance with the understanding she would start working after she gave birth.
Soon, with two of her children in school and her infant, 2-year-old and 4-year-old in the care of extended family, Bridgforth started working at a gas station. She earned $8 an hour, 50 cents above Maine’s minimum wage at that time, later receiving a 50-cent raise. Bridgforth was also pursuing an associate degree in justice studies and taking a full course load.
The Deprivation Standard
Yet less than two years later, DHHS informed Bridgforth that she no longer qualified for assistance, including child care. The notice from the agency said her family did not meet the “deprivation” standard, a TANF requirement that assesses the extent to which children have been deprived of financial support from one or both parents. Bridgforth’s children no longer met the standard because her husband had been released from jail and they were now considered a two-parent household, even though the couple was estranged and he was not living with them. They divorced soon after….

Liz Cheney Is Using Jan. 6 Probe To Persecute Home Opponents
Wyoming nominal Republican Rep. Liz Cheney is using the House Select Committee on Jan. 6 to persecute those working to unseat her at home.
On Tuesday, the committee on which Cheney serves as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s hand-picked vice chair unveiled subpoenas for three advisers to the Trump family. Andrew Surabian and Arthur Schwartz, who’ve advised Donald Trump Jr., and Ross Worthington, who played a role in drafting President Donald Trump’s speech on Jan. 6, were each called to hand over documents and testify before the committee between Jan. 31 and Feb. 2.
“The Select Committee is seeking information from individuals who were involved with the rally at the Ellipse,” Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said in a statement. “Protestors became rioters who carried out a violent attempt to derail the peaceful transfer of power. We have reason to believe the individuals we’ve subpoenaed today have relevant information.”
Except Surabian, who is advising the Wyoming Values Political Action Committee (PAC) in support of Cheney’s primary challenger attorney Harriet Hageman, had no involvement with the White House protest that the probe has sought to conflate with the violence at the Capitol.
“During the time period that the rally was being organized, Mr. Surabian was overseeing a Super PAC in support of Republican Senate candidates in Georgia,” Surabian attorney Daniel Bean said in a statement. “Mr. Surabian is a close friend to Donald Trump Jr. and is running a Super PAC that opposes the reelection of one of the members of the committee. Accordingly, we believe this is nothing more than harassment of the Committee’s political opponents and is un-American to the core.”
Schwartz did not respond to The Federalist’s request for comment.
Cheney faces a competitive primary for a fourth term as one of the most unpopular Republicans in the country. Out of three surveys conducted since Cheney’s escalated feud in the election’s aftermath, Cheney failed to land more than 25 percent support among likely primary voters, far short of the 40 percent vote share she earned in her first 2016 House primary.
Running again a state Trump won by a higher margin than anywhere else in the country just more than a year ago, Wyoming Republicans soured on the lawmaker after the then-House GOP Conference chair joined Democrats in their snap-impeachment of the outgoing president. Nine Republicans ultimately joined Cheney in her vote to convict, several of whom already announced their intent to do so calling into question the influence of her highly publicized stunt.
The at-large representative was then censured by her own party back home. After surviving a referendum on her number three role in House leadership, an emboldened Cheney escalated her feud with the ex-president and continued to antagonize the Republican base. By May, Cheney was overwhelmingly kicked from her post in GOP leadership and in November, the Wyoming Republican Party voted to no longer recognize its sole member of the House as Republican.
The Jan. 6 Committee, meanwhile, has turned to investigating political dissidents in Democrats’ domestic war on terror, with subpoenas to Trump allies and telecom companies to preserve documents of private citizens….

What You Can and Can’t Bring onto the Floor in Congress
April 20, 2018
Foods and beverages other than water (both chambers): New US Representative Conor Lamb was recently stopped at the door to the House Chamber when he tried to bring coffee onto the floor, according to Politico reporter Heather Caygle.In the Senate, food and drinks are also prohibited, except for water, which Senate pages serve, and milk, which one senator is said to have specifically requested during a recent filibuster. Members of the House, however, aren’t allowed to enjoy a nice glass of milk.

The problem with that is Fauci should have been prosecuted or at least removed because of his emails, even with this evidence they need dems to go along and The DOJ is not interested in prosecuting real crimes

Officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt never interviewed by D.C. police before cleared, report
To this day, Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd is still the commander in charge of security for the House of Representatives.
U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd was never formally interviewed by the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department before being cleared of wrongdoing in the fatal shooting of Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, according to a report from Real Clear Investigations.
In an interview with the outlet, Babbitt family attorney Terry Roberts said he was surprised at how "skimpy" Byrd's investigative file is.
"He didn’t provide any statement to [criminal] investigators, and they didn’t push him to make a statement," Roberts also said.
Roberts' claims appear to be backed up by MPD documents obtained by Judicial Watch, which confirm that Byrd "declined to provide a statement."
An MPD spokesperson confirmed that Byrd did not cooperate with internal affairs or FBI agents.
“MPD did not formally interview Lt. Byrd. … He didn’t give a statement while under the U.S. Attorney’s Office investigation," said D.C. MPD communications Director Kristen Metzger said.
Roberts shot Babbitt, who served in the U.S. Air Force, in the neck-shoulder area as she tried to climb through the broken window of a barricaded door to the Speaker's Lobby, near the House Chamber.
Within four months of the shooting, Byrd had been cleared of any criminal wrongdoing by the Justice Department, which opted not to present evidence to a grand jury about one of the most high-profile police shootings in recent memory. Justice declared there was "not enough evidence" to conclude that Byrd violated Babbitt's civil rights or acted recklessly.
Roberts said Byrd did not have to invoke his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. He was able to remain silent with apparently minimal pushback from authorities – no threats of punishment for failing to cooperate with the investigation, and no administrative action taken to pressure him into compliance. Byrd was placed on paid administrative leave during the investigative process and returned to his same position, commander in charge of security for the House of Representatives.
