    The problem is the programs that are abused are the same programs that actually help people who they were designed to help. We should always be vigilant on make the programs more effective but we shouldn't throw out the baby with the bathwater.

    With their current structure, welfare programs dont really seem to help as much as they hurt. Welfare programs encourage dependence on the govt and the govt does its absolute best to expand them and create even more dependency. It seems that every year the eligibility gets broader and the restrictions smaller.

    You cant just make it rain and hope some falls in the collection plate either.

    1-7 people are on food stamps in america. If 1 out of every 7 people cant afford to feed themselves..... then we have a really big problem.
