I agree, the welfare system is ridiculous. Fact is though, it's there, and it doesn't cost thousands extra to print her a check. It's already in place, hemorrhaging money out of the system to the poor and lazy. As that's the case, the people that actually need it might as well use it too.  |
actually it does, i saw a study recently that put the pricetag of the average welfare recipent at well over $2000 per month, ( thats at an average of around $700 per month to the recepient ) Thats money we are paying.
And b.c. food banks like the salvation army ARE funded by tax dollars. ( at least partially anyways ). I know because i often hunt deer and take the deer into the salvation army for tax credit..
point is its much easier ( and cheaper ) to just give her some money for 3 months that she can relax and look for a job, because once she is on welfare she wont be able to.
