hey anthony, welfare is a helping hand, not meant to be a lifelong commitment. most of those i have met have been on it way too long. those are lazy people who do not try to make a go of it. not all,,,, but seems like most. it was never intended to be long term , but seems like when time is coming near to be pushed off, bam another kid and more welfare.

i my self have been on unemployment and it drove me nuts not earning my own keep.

get jobs and pay taxes and give back welfare recipients . on more then two years something is wrong, not talking food stamps mind you.
