Welfare programs, my argument, your thoughts?
This is was a closing argument I made when discussing welfare programs with a liberal friend of mine. He never could come up with a comeback...intact he still won't reply to me, what's your thoughts?
"Welfare programs have out grown our ability to pay for them, theres some very tough choices and discussions we have to have, unfortunately much of it will effect the poor, but if it doesn't get addressed now we'll just spend money on it utill the US government can't borrow anymore by then it'll be too late for sensible cuts." |

Sounds good...
Did you hear on the news yesterday about how they are drug testing those who want to apply for welfare? the individual needs to pay for the drug test and if he passes it he receives all the benefits of welfare plus a reimbursement for the test. If he fails, he will not be eligible to apply for welfare for another year. About time. |

AWw but it's the economy and Bush's fault! There's just no jobs for a $90 per hour, high school drop out, Union worker to install lug nuts. They were all sent over sea's and it's my right to sit on my butt till I feel like working another job, even though I'll never get paid that kind of money again. And since it's Bush's fault! The Government owes me this money.

I can live with 4 years. For example... a single mother of 4 realizes her poor choices... takes college courses or begins a vocational training program - but since these take time to complete so that she is viable to employ, I am ok with assisting her and her children. Provided she's doing the right thing and trying to better herself. Although I will never like the idea of cash assistance or food stamps. Both are misused. I'd prefer food stamps cover only milk, bread, eggs, meat, vegetables. Not twinkies, ding dongs, donuts, potato chips. You want the sugary and fattening stuff? Get off the GOvt teet and provide them for yourself.

I agree. We shouldn't finance a persons poor choices. However, the christian in me likes to think people deserve a second chance. We all make bad decisions. Its learning from them that I admire. |

26 weeks of Unemployment is not a welfare program, anything beyond the 26 weeks of insurance is a welfare program. Medicare <insurance for the retired correct?> Is borderline a welfare program due to what you've put in isn't any where near the benefits it pays. Medicaid<for the poor> Is a welfare program. Section 8 Food Stamps, ect. I never said I wanted to eliminate any of the programs, but if we don't re-vamp, them now it's just going to be worse later on. |

Welfare. The liberals best way to get voters.
Liberals want Darwinism taught in schools but prevent it from happening in real life. Welfare, Food stamps and all non contributory social programs should be ended. All of the "Contributory" programs should be run as per the current insurance laws of this country or be abolished as well. As set up how they are nothing more than a ponzi scheme. |

Start with a problem we can all agree on, and go from there..unfortunately I don't think we can even agree on a problem right now. 5% less taxes on just the rich, is NOT causing these welfare programs budgets to bloat. |
