New York gubernatorial candidate and tea party favorite Carl Paladino for this:
Paladino laid out several plans that included converting underused state prisons into centers that would house welfare recipients. There, they would do work for the state — "military service, in some cases park service, in other cases public works service," he said — while prison guards would be retrained to work as counselors.
"Instead of handing out the welfare checks, we'll teach people how to earn their check. We'll teach them personal hygiene ... the personal things they don't get when they come from dysfunctional homes," Paladino said.
Personal hygiene? And wait -- that first part sounds eerily like those rumored (and debunked) FEMA camps. I thought the wacky conspiratorial tea party people were against the FEMA camps.
Also, just a reminder about Paladino and how the tea party isn't about race.
