Explain further, my friend, explain.
When welfare was established in the 1930's it was in the middle of the great depression. Millions of people were out of work and starving- so it made sense to give out food stamps and help the people, because if they didn't then shit would get out of hand.
When the economy boomed again, the standards of welfare didn't change. People were still on it, and I happen to believe in this modern day and age, Welfare overall, is a bad thing.
Unless it's redrawn and the requirements are adjusted to modern day society, we're going to continue to see people who don't exactly need to be on welfare being on it anyway. There are entire families who exist where, generation after generation has been on welfare and they haven't made an effort to get out of it- simply because these particular people have found it 'the easy way out'.
Sometimes being on welfare is unavoidable, but most people who aren't disabled, even single parent women with kids, can pull themselves out of the poverty to a level where they can support themselves without leeching from the government. I've known plenty of people who did this- and then, I've also known people who have decided not to.
Welfare needs to be correct or completely gotten rid of. It isn't helping like the way it was intended to- instead of feeding the starving and out of work like it did in the 1930's it is encouraging people to sit on their lazy arses instead of doing something.
