Welfare: Too Much Care
Tenna is a nineteen-year-old high school drop out. ... Tenna and Robby are just two of the thirteen million people receiving welfare today. ... For decades, the effectiveness of the federal and state welfare programs for the poor has been one of the most controversial debates in America. Does welfare help the poor by providing a boost to lift them out of poverty? ... How much should the government help those on welfare and where should the line be drawn? ...
The effectiveness of the program becomes a personal issue to taxpayers because their money is being spent to support welfare recipients. Many Americans feel that they work hard to support these people on welfare, when the welfare recipients should be out working to support themselves. People on welfare need to be required to have a job. ... If someone is physically and mentally able to work and get paid, they need to be out there instead of just sitting at home just waiting for their welfare check to come in the mail. American citizens all over this land agree that the "… welfare system has become symbolic of a well-intended government program that has backfired. By paying people not to work, critics say, welfare encourages laziness. They say it creates a culture of dependency, where generations of families see welfare as a way of life.” “Welfare must be a second chance," Clinton declared, " not a way of life"(Disconsiglio).
