Artful Dodger: My brother and his wife (she is dead now of cancer) but thye lived with my mum....she worked and supported the entire household,herself,my brother (who is 8 years older then myself) his wife and one,sometimes 2 of her daughters.....I asked him once if either of them had found jobs yet.....he said no,nothing paid good enough....I really didn't and DON'T understand that way of thinking.....$8.00 per hour vs. $0.00 per hour...so instead of both of them going out to find jobs,they sat there letting my mum and welfare carry their weight while both were VERY capible at the time to get a job.In cases like that,the government should DEMAND someone to get a job,or no benifits.
I had left my first husband WAS working but had no medical insurance....I wet to the state for some help...sure,they said,we can help you,BUT we HAVE to give you cash assistance,food stamps and the medical coverage......hmmm,I didn't NEED all 3,JUST medical help...if I didn't take all 3,I got nothing....simple changes like that to our system,I wonder how many millions a year,mayb billions?? it could save our country.
How about people that have 4 and 5 kids and are on welfare..whats wrong with DEMANDING they use birth control? after all,state coverage WOULD provide for it.WHY reward people that keep having kids but sit on their butts all day and do nothing but collect off wlefare that WE pay into...I dunno
