[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 393595, member: 9789"] Diesel, I never said I was for more or less government. I am for the [B]right[/B] kind of government. You mistakenly associate my support of a candidate to include every aspect of that candidate's or Republican Party's platform. Stick to what I say in the post. Welfare [B]is[/B] government interference. Go upstream and fix the cause of the basic problems with welfare. Fix the 2nd - 3rd - and 4th generation welfare recipients. IMHO, most of these folks feel that the government owes them! There has been a social breakdown with the real intent for welfare. Too many abuses of the system and free handouts to able body people who are getting our money and using that money for drugs, sex, alcohol etc! Look at Rodney King - I can guarantee you there is plenty of white trash just like him... but to make a point - He sued LA taxpayers and got millions and squandered it all away. He continues to do the same things that caused the problem in the first place! We need to go upstream and fix the problems that cause welfare - We do not need to give undeserving people assistance. How do you pay for it? - With the dollars [B]not spent[/B] giving it away to the professional abusers of the system. Guess what ... that is most of where the welfare money is going!!! Make welfare recipients pass drug tests, take classes to improve their education, perform work within their [B]capability[/B] (even if it means picking up trash, digging ditches, or flipping burgers. [B]Make these people feel they are a productive part of society[/B].... Change these folks outlook on life through work & educational experience. Take away the "poor me" attitude! During the Great Depression what did FDR do.... He put the out of work people back to work creating highways and other jobs to improve our infrastructure. Let's do the same thing. Welfare should not be free! People need their self-esteem - approach our social programs with that in mind. No handouts! [/QUOTE]
