HuffPo: Welfare Recipients = Stay-at-Home-Moms: Democrats continued their "war on moms" via the Huffington Post this weekend by equating stay-at-home mothers to welfare recipients. Their headline:
"Mitt Romney: Mothers Should Be Required To Work Outside the Home Or Lose Benefits."
They quote Mitt Romney from a January speech in which he stated that he felt that women who received federal assistance should be required to work in order to discourage dependency on government programs. HuffPo then clumsily argues Romney is anti-stay-at-home-moms because he doesn't support those stay-at-home-moms who receive government assistance.
HuffPo's illogic is both horribly offensive and inaccurate. Stay-at-home mothers with an employed husband generally don't live off of public assistance funds; in fact, they’re paying for the entitlements received by those on the federal assistance programs Romney describes. But that doesn’t stop HuffPo:
Regardless of its level of dignity, for Ann Romney, her work raising her children would not have fulfilled her work requirement had she been on TANF benefits.
