Lets cut welfare? Don't you think people living off the system it's time to cut their life line? ?

and people like contractors won't have work is our government that dence they don't understand it's already been that way for a long time now. How are people going to fix up the homes when they are losing them?

How are people going to take out a loan when they lost their job? Or you got one spouse working trying to make ends meet for the whole family?



Here is my solution welfare is sucking us up blind don't you all think it's time we cut these people living off the system off?

I know a bunch of them in my city and they wouldn't work to save their life. Welfare cost us tax payers to much money and they just keep having babies. Not all but many of them.

Welfare was designed for working people to get on during hard times now the working people can't get on it if we have to much in assets and so on. But yet you can sit with no job year after year and collect of the system.



We need welfare reform and we need it soon? What do you think?Lets cut welfare? Don't you think people living off the system it's time to cut their life line? ?
Disagree. There are people out there on welfare who work 2 jobs sometimes 7 days a week and still cannot make ends meet. Prices are going up and salaries are staying the same. I think welfare needs to be around BUT it definitely needs to be changed. For example there are definitely people on it who are lazy and unmotivated. There should be something in place to follow up on these people to see what kind of changes are going on, if they are even working or pursuing a job, etc. So many things should take place to eliminate the lazy people. BUT it should not be cut out completely cause there are people out there really struggling and trying to make ends meet. Lets cut welfare? Don't you think people living off the system it's time to cut their life line? ?
welfare is only about 0.6% of our taxes, so I doubt it is hurting us that much. In fact all programs to help the poor, all together only are 5% of the taxes.

I think you need to look elsewhere for what is causing the problem.

There has been lots of reform of the system already, but it does need more for those that are on it for forever.
You'd probably take them all out and shoot them right.
Ok then - and if you default on your mortgage you GO AND LIVE ON THE STREET - and don't expect the rest of us to bail you out for your fecklessness !!
I agree with you. No one should be allowed to just sit on their fat *** all day long and keep popping out babies that i have to pay for. People take advantage of the system and it sucks for people like me who actually work hard. If youre going to be on welfare i think you should get 90 days tops. It doesnt take 90 days to find a job. If it does take you 3 whole months to find a job, you either arent looking hard enough or you think you're better than you really are and need to lower your standards.
Yes, the system can be abused and there should be reform to prevent that from happening.



However, it's an utter myth to think that everyone on welfare is just looking for a free ride. Some people just haven't had the lucky breaks that I've had, or that lots of other people have had.



Cutting welfare spending is not the solution. The solution is to find ways to spend that money wisely.
You do realize social security that the elderly receive is welfare too.
If you cut off their lifeline then they will take the next path of least resistance to survive: crime. You can't stay on Welfare forever either, Clinton signed into law Welfare reforms that remove people off the system that don't make an effort to provide for themselves.



The Clinton era welfare reforms were good, don't touch them. They were the product of bipartisanship, Republicans wrote the law that Clinton asked for and he signed it. If you really want to know how far it's come, compare TANF (the new system) to AFDC (the old system).
maybe not eliminate but change the rules where if you are working paying taxes and still can not get by you can get alittle help, All this welfare system in the United States does is reward people for having children they can not feed, if your sitting on your but kicking out babies , no desire for education or a job ,the kids can go into foster systems and the parents can get with the program or starve to death. That way if you have a job and your using it , your at least paying back into it with taxes.
YES let's eliminate ALL welfare ESPECIALLY corporate welfare - - - let's prevent NEW corporate welfare too, starting with this bailout bill.


I agree but I don't think it should be eliminated completely. Yes, there are many people who are lazy and collect welfare so they don't have to work but there also are people who are working and still struggling to make ends meet.
Yeah lets cut welfare for everyone that means none for the little people and no bail out.....



Equality can be a B****



What the government pays out in welfare is not much compared to most things in our budget....



and while the idiots who make a life out of it (living off of the system) piss me off the ones who have more money than any of us will be getting that money too, that pisses me off even more...
Our polliticians are welfare and so are the CEos they support on our dime 40% of govt is private contracts which cost 40%more then govt employee's you might say they are working the sytem dont shoot the wrong person
