[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 181082, member: 4886"] The sad part is that welfare is a good idea in that it helps out the folks who hit a bump in the road. Unforunately, it's turned into a way of life. I think that people on welfare should be required to do some kind of work. Weather that work be cleaning trash from the streets, taking care of other welfare people's children while those parents are working, something, anything. I know there are some people who have real challenges and disabilities who may not be able to do that, fine let that be an exception. But we should be giving jobs along with the checks. Also, I think Tooner may have said it before, if not I apologize, but seeing people on welfare buying lottery tickets burns me up too. The only time I ever buy a ticket is when the powerball\megamillions gets to some huge number then I'll kick in a few bucks. I treat it more as an entertainment of dreaming what I could do and get more entertainment value out of it then buying a movie ticket. People who spend the taxpayers money on lottery, cell phones, drugs etc don't need as much money as they are getting and their payment s/b cut back. Before I was married to my wife, she was living on her own working and trying to make ends meet as a young single girl. A "friend" of hers gets knocked up, ends up on welfare. She ended up having a better apartment, big TV, better clothes and more spending money then my wife did. And it was her friend that was complaining that the govt was screwing her and they s/b giving her more. My wife pretty much ended the relationship since she couldn't stand it anymore.
