Wow...forgot about this thread, didn't realize I hit such a nerve.
My point is simple. We need welfare. We need entitlements. But it has to be reformed so people can not abuse the system.
A mom buying food using Government assistance until she gets on her feet is okay. A mom abusing the system isn't. It's quite simple.
When is she "on her feet," Naso? When she gets an $8/hr job, she's still not going to have enough money to live independent of government assistance.
Your entire party seems woefully ignorant of the fact that you can go to work 40 hours a week and still be unable to afford food, shelter and healthcare without public aid.
