Romney brags about small government and state facilitated government entitlement programs. Well, HUD funds some apartment complexes directly and they are available to people for 30% of their income. States have housing available to people for 30% of their income. Counties ALREADY administer most HUD funding in the form of housing vouchers and certificates enabling some of those who qualify to pay 30& of their income.
Food Stamps and WIC (infants) are administered by counties, as is cash welfare, available to people for only five years period.
California administrates Medi-Cal health benefits by county emplyees.
Most other states adiministrate Medicaid by county employees
Unemployment administered by states.
Medicare/ObamaCare/Rummynomics Vouchers: A huge program due to so many elderly who are living to be in their 90s. Most people don't want to risk paying $1000s per year (Nancy Pelosi) for Romney Opt Out of Medicare. Millions are already being assisted by ObamaCare's increased access to Medicaid, e.g. workers without insurance.
That leaves Social Security. It is ludicrous to have states administer all social security payments, when the federal government system is working fine, but for the Govenment borrowing from the Social Security Trust Fund.
WHAT IS ROMNEY TALKING ABOUT WHEN HE HARPS ON THE "NEW IDEA" OF STATE/COUNTY CONTROLLED ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS? Has Romney noticed that most if not all welfare benefits are facilitated by Electronic Debit Cards and administered by JP Morgan Chase? Has Romney ever seen an EBT card? Has Romney ever discussed life with a struggling working family on WIC and foodstamps, paying more than half their income on rent because there are not enough federal dollars for HUD to grant all those who qualify, access to the HUD entitlement?.
