Come down to NYC and watch the people on welfare driving around in their cars, or sitting on their porches drinking beer, talking about the latest show on cable... When you are on welfare, you do not get those benefits. I've spent enough time volunteeering in the NYC public school system, hearing pregnany 16 year olds tell me to my face that they want one more kid because it means a larger apartment... nevermind the fact that the father pays no child support for the first kid...
The system could possibly work, just not the state it's in right now... and for the single mother of two kids, where the heck is the dad, and why isn't he paying child support? Why is it my responsibility to pay for her kids when she should have kept her legs closed.

....again i think its safe to say that everyone is against abuse of any government program. I am glad that you are able to take care of yourself, but not everyone is like you. Some people do need help, whether it be someone who WAS supporting there family pay check to pay check and just lost there job, or people with mental issues that are not able to work. What do we do with the those people, just hope they starve off and die? Or is the person with the mental disablilites own fault for being born that way? I don't mean to attack, but i will as all you are doing Mal is ripping the people who are abusing and ignoring the people who might actuall need it or they might die.
