Quote:Are you aware how most of our welfare programs work? Most people are NOT getting straight cash... just fyi...


Most "welfare" is in the form of food stamps. Not exactly something that will help a person live a comfortable life... also, Clinton made it so you can't collect unemployment for more than 2 years... Medicaid is only for healthcare and is also not cash handouts...


News flash --


Most people ARE WORKING!!!! They are just making very low wages and are being subsidized by the government because the major employers of the usa are paying wages that a family cannot live on, even though these companies are making huge profits.


How can you not see the reality that is right in front of you?

 

I'm aware medicaid is not a cash handout...

 

Whether or not people are abusing the system is up for debate.  Many people seem to think its a problem.  I guess you posted an article about it though, so that settles it.

 

What we can agree upon is that the government is a poor steward of tax dollars.  That's not by accident.  What you will find is any new laws forcing higher wage pay will exempt the corps and people who run this country.  Or they will jsut continue to move more operations overseas where wages are basically slave labor levels.
