America could not just stop giving out welfare. It would have to be a process of decreasing the amount of money a welfare recipient could receive. There are too many children at risk to just stop a family's money source. Children would eventually flood the foster care system and then there would be a whole new problem.

I agree that these ppl should go out and get a job, but a lot of them would rather sit on their asses and collect. Unless they had a reason, like if the gov. told them, "You have 6 monthes to find a job or we will cut your check by 30%." And then decrease the amount of money in their check until there was no check or they got a job. A lot of their ears would perk up, they'd shut off the TV, and go look in the want ads. If they didn't eventually get a job, then it would be out of pure laziness and their kids should live with someone else and have a chance.

I think some ppl should get financial help, like veterans, the disabled,the elderly, or ppl TRYING to make it and just need a little aid. The rest should stop expecting their country to support them and get a job.
maryjanemama Reviewed by maryjanemama on . Our Government ***very personal views This may sound like an essay but it's something I feel strongly about. And I just wondered if anyone else felt the same way. I was in the military for a while. I got hurt pretty bad. And I got discharged. I didn't get a severence pay because the doctor claimed eventually I would get well and it wouldn't effect my life. While I was sick I was having problems paying my bills. I go to college I work and pay taxes. I strive to do better to have a decent life and live comfortably. Just be a normal Rating: 5
