I told Joe the last few days that we -- good historical Gordon Harold and another great welfare and in my opinion another great welfare memo. That would get the memo posted yet syndicate is -- up on -- up online yet or not yes it is online okay. If you would like to see this memo from the department of transitional. Assistance. In Massachusetts you can go to our website which is how we cart dot com we we up posted the first two pages of it. But I cannot I get out some military and then you've you've got to see you've got to see the -- question just have to see it the you have to look at them actually look at the memo. We don't we don't run actual copy EC anymore so it is in in the paper as much as we used to and sometimes you actually have to see in the actual. Tax that black and white it's different it's different when you see a one when UCL a summation when you see the actual memo itself."

" Here's the beginning in my column eagle scouts need not apply valedictorian she did though. So you say English is your native language tough break kid you'll have with your mother and your father strike to never been arrested strike three you're out of here. Come back after you drop out of school or get pregnant. This is from the latest memo from the department of transitional. Assistance. It's the -- You works summer employment program this is again this is Barack Obama's stimulus package in action. Okay. And I hate it seeks to provide -- I'm reading now from the memo it's seeks to provide a variety of strategic investments this is stimulus aimed at improving economic conditions aimed at improving economic conditions. As part of the American recovery and reimbursement act that's stimulus tortuous. More than 11000 summer jobs for youth will be available in Massachusetts. The department has developed the DT a youth works program to help clients ages fourteen through 34. -- Summer jobs by the way he did you get paid a minimum of eight dollars an hour in the earnings won't count towards families eligibility. Four other taxpayer funded subsidies including. But not limited to I don't don't think food stamps heating assistance -- health insurance. Okay now here comes the -- client eligibility you have to be a US citizen that's surprising. But you have to be a US citizen have to be between fourteen and 24 have to registered with selective service of Europe a male and have to be a low income individuals. Okay. Okay additionally the client must meet one of the following criteria in this is the interest in part of the client must meet one of the following criteria. Requiring additional assistance to complete an educational program to keep -- obtain -- paean to obtain and keep a job okay. Here's the first one. The client must meet one of the following criteria or lack basic skills. Being pregnant or parenting. Be the child of a single working parent. And individuals with disabilities or special needs -- Foster child a school drop. A school drop out. Homeless or runaway. Court in -- offender that means a juvenile delinquent or an ESL -- or an immigrant. That's that you had to get this to get this summer job easily could these are the criteria I'll read the I'll read the more. Outrageous ones lacking basic skills. Pregnant or parenting. A school drop out homeless or runaway court involved and an -- or an offender -- DSL -- or Democrat. The just admit then again these you know what is it that did the up GTA the department of transitional assistance is saying that. These are run these these these are federal requirements -- they've since the Fed's insisted. On these are these are job criteria. Now try to -- again this is the same same thing is assault on my -- you know when we talk about you what would happen if they if if a white guy. Head had said that he was more qualified than a good to be a judge and what -- woman I mean you'd be out the door not trying to imagine. If it if they if they put in for eligibility for summer jobs to you had to have basic skills. If you had to not be pregnant if you had to be in school. If you had to have a clean record and he had to have English is your native language. And not be an immigrant can you imagine that. That would be an outrage that sale was say it it was -- attempt to keep out certain people. He had. They insist that the Obama and Deval Patrick administration's. Insist on one of the criteria for getting a summer job in the welfare department. Is that you lack basic skills. Or you can be pregnant or parenting that means you've already had a kid -- BS score -- patent. Or be homeless or run away her record involved or offended that means -- men -- juvenile delinquent. Or be an ESL English as a second language learner or an immigrant. Then also all this another when you have another or another of the criteria you could be any of these will suffice. The child of a single working parent -- percent this. To be considered first summer job at the welfare department you have to come from a two parent family."

" Every -- go nuts."

" No one's asking -- special treatment for people who come from Ozzie and Harriet -- household embodiment and use the word normal households. But why why is the government discriminating against people who com it's a strike gets a strike against two if you come from a two parent household it's a strike against you you're not pregnant it's a strike against you with you have skills it's a strike against interference call to strike against -- you don't have a criminal record. How does this make any -- sense. Any does this make any sense at all. 18 I know it's a body and I think it's about empathy but yet again as we said yesterday empathy. Is really favoritism here you're your saying that they know. That -- if you if you behave badly the government is going to reward you if you behave well. You're -- going to have to lose. Suck it up and go to work at McDonald's deal what people like that never win in the intro who calls 911 because he doesn't get a via an orange juice in his order."

" Mean it's just it's it's astounding. That that that this is this is going on. 18 -- it's discrimination against people who come. From traditional families it's it's it's discrimination against people who. Core -- won the right thing. How can -- be. I know how it can be but this is -- this is the point where -- in this country 18774694322. The spokesman said the spokesman for the bta said that the drop criteria were drafted by federal officials again federal officials this is part of the -- this is what the stimulus is about. If your kid comes from -- cut comes from a household with two with pinball parents living there that's a strike against them. Bob your next with Howie Carr go ahead Bob."

" I'm as anti welfare and you probably Marcel but I think in this case you're making a mountain out of -- lot of mobile. Good those liabilities in the welfare department job. Yeah yet as I mean it like for example you don't know if you heard it here hardworking clean cut he got a good family you don't qualify for putting it's that it's a Lincoln who qualified for welfare and --"

" All right Sean why shouldn't the taxpayers were picking up the tab for the stimulus program have a right to get their kids in that the program."

" I I agree I agree and it's just this clemency should. It's -- Gelman don't rule what can -- I'm letting out their if you got an idea how your hard work hero back."

" There's not -- decision don't cordless air this is an homeless shelter people in these people all over the the state all over the country you're looking for a summer jobs these yeah these are these are good summer jobs right."

" I agree in general but I think there are other department dealing with general job that the welfare department but it."

" What are dirty jobs are there any departments where you have to become from a two family home and English has to be your native language and you can't be -- can't be pregnant are there any are there are thirty. It departments that day encourage that kind of discrimination Bob I don't think so."

" Again I would agree we should do away with all welfare and things like given that happened today I haven't figured it seemed like -- you're surprised that the welfare people -- here the people were given welfare do it's obviously all of the Bosnia."

" There's some there's some heard -- These are so these are supposed to get them out of their run out of that out of the us streets. And and I don't think that discriminating against the middle class is the people who were picking up the tab for these jobs you can't ask people to pay money and then say you can't you can't have by any of the benefits because it because -- you're you're life is in order."

" I can come up again in general terms I agree but it beats -- this is people. Us dead you know you were you graduated from Deerfield he went to brown you're calling Kathy got a nice family is a good salary. -- would you like -- and our special subsidized job."

" I shunned but why should I had -- why shouldn't I have had the right you know it wasn't like you know I I -- I was of the year I graduated -- I was a young -- you know I know I. Thought they you know you I didn't have a great job I met in my they had a may might have been better a better job to work in the welfare office in Greenfield."

" And I agree it's the same sort of question and then why don't you have a right to go read up if for example I mean actual data that you know we're -- dumped it did."

" Why don't ever write to get food stamps I know -- DN RI. -- IBM's. Yeah so I'm surprised that they've just said no middle class people need apply again. I'm not surprised because I know who's running this government. I was very -- That they would put -- that their soul brazen their solely emboldened the don't put it in black and white. Saying that if you caught it in -- you have two people limited to married up parents live and in my house that's going to be held as a strike against you if you don't have a record it's a strike against you if you speak English it's a strike against you if you have basic skills it's strike against you don't see any wrong."

" It's the same thing though if you got all those things they give you free house thanks. You know little weird this does well I've got graduated college work and I don't think he made free I think -- the."

" Let us know and that's a good question did you know I don't. Back in but thanks for the call Bob 18774694322. Jim you're next with how we -- ahead gem."

" Why don't they just come out and say speaking not all good for not being shipped a display about. -- made a smooth. I was gonna -- right to the charities."

" And I know how many times we says it's social self evident when you when you look around you whatever you so whatever the government subsidizes you get more so now we're gonna be subsidizing all these teen lay abouts and guess what's going to. Happen maybe you know we know how you look at that. Gee mom might kiss I can't get the job I'm dad still living at home and I'm not pregnant."

" A popular guy and I and I went to -- don't have a record I didn't get arrested last night I mean hardworking kids here get a job at McDonald's you know smart you know these days yeah stands at. You know kids who are actually you know I'll want to make a future for themselves and then our ambitious you know help. And yet these jobs are sort of people probably don't even applause from."

I mean do this is they didn't do Deval Patrick people this is the way they operate so they don't they don't want you know the criminal records so why it's just one further steps that you know the guy who has the criminal record we'll get the nod over the guy who doesn't."
