there is no way in hell that we should comletly do away with th welfare system. BUT it does absolutly need a makeover. i to am sick of the deadbeats that sit at home an spit out kids while collecting the money i put into the system. i also just dont get how someone can get a tax return that is more than they paid into taxes.
when i was first married (imnow happly divorced) and had an infant daughter my wife and i had to go on welfare. this lasted approximatly 1 year. now i have a decent job and support my daughter. my parents were the same, used the welfare system till they could get on their feet. it can work. but the problem is it is way to easy to abuse the system. it is also way to easy to get caught in the loop. when me and my wife applied it was because she has severe asthma and we couldnt afford the meds, she has about 15 scrips to keep it under conrol. but they wouldnot just give medical assistance, it was either full "benifits" or nothing. then if i had not been workin under the table and savin most o the money when i did get back to work the benefits were cut off. that ment 3 months with no insurance. my wife could have died if not for us setting back the money we did. oh and if you dont think asthma can kill, her father saved her life once when she completly stopped breathing. during her pregnancy for 6 months we were at the hospital every day.
so the welfare system can and does work for some but those who abuse it are the ones that give it a bad rep.
