Current system does not work in rehabilitating the poor. On one hand you have the people who abuse the system and stay under welfare their whole lives, and on the other you have those who are trying to get out of it, but can't since they're kicked out of government housing as soon as they get a job.

Should be used to get people back on their feet, not act as a chair.

if you make it that hard no one would qualify, unless of course you offer a ridiculous salary. Back then the government positions you tested for basically set you up for life so there was a lot more motivation to do well.

as in, we work for people to get welfare...and some of the people that get welfare never even worked in the US? (imigrants)

is that what you mean?

 

[midwestfisherman]

get rid of the lobbyists, the soft money, pork, special interests and welfare.....I know that's more than one but hey, I got on a roll.

My point, but you would have smart workers

I really wish it woudl get out of the business of telling people how to live their lives, or regulating institutions that have never existed.

no, basically welfare was designed as a way for people to get back on their feet and get back into the workforce. but alot of people have been collecting the checks and not working.

No, in that some people are taking in welfare checks and using the money to make their asses fat instead of getting an education

this thread is a prime example of that.

I would make it a law for students to excerise independent thought and do their own homework.

um.. without a big salary incentive no one would bother. i dont think the government can support a 100K + salary for all government workers

Special interest money.
