an education does not give one intelligence it only gives them knowledge

We SHOULD have it, not MUST. Anyhow, the biggest problem with the system is that it doesn't allow people to get ahead. There needs to be some way to regulate out many of the people that abuse the system.

For instance, I know several people that avoid working too many hours because they jst got a raise. That would put them into a slightly bigger income bracket than they would lose insurance, or take a pay cut, and that would actually put them behind.

And the people who just refuse to work because they cand live for free, or the ones that pop out kids so they can both stay on welfare, and make more money on the system. Then there are the immigrants who come to this country and immediate go on welfare. And why is it they get free education, yet little Jonny whose parents bust their asses to pay taxes has to fork over an arm and a leg to pay for an education?

Maybe the welfare system shouldn't be a free paycheck, maybe it should be an actual job? Make the people clean up garbage on the side of the street, plant some trees, work on the highway, or SOMETHING...?

Not sure what they should do, but someone in charge needs to do their homework...


Clean up garbage on the side of the road??? These aren't prison inmates. In the majority of cases they are single mothers. You're going to force them to put their kids in daycare (which the state will have to pay for) so they can clean up trash on the side of the road. And call it job training?? Or claim that it is benefiting them in some way, considering you aren't willing to pay them a living wage to do it???

I could see offering legit jobs, but then you should be paying legit wages for the jobs being done..........

$255-$300 a month.........and you want them to clean up trash on the side of the road......as their job....
