Welfare - Greedy Mothers and Lazy Families

Welfare - Greedy Mothers and Lazy Families

Millions of Americans are signed up for welfare; the program designed to

aid poor and needy families. Unfortunately, it has now become a way of life for

many. Many argue that welfare is not destroying our culture and creating a

dependent people who have learned to abuse certain privileges that come with

living in America, but history has proven that this is not true.

When President Clinton signed the welfare reform bill, he

said "Today, we are taking a historic chance to make welfare what it was meant

to be: a second chance, not a way of life." Welfare was designed to give a

boost to the poor-to help struggling families make it through the year while

they got back on their feet. What it has become is a target for gluttonous

mothers and others who have no values. Many mothers who are on welfare have

become used to it, and instead of using the money and aid to stay alive while

they look for a job, they are sitting at home waiting by the mailbox for the

next check to come in. In the meantime, many mothers are having more kids,

because-more kids, more welfare money. These women relish the thought of

getting free money in the mail-for doing absolutely nothing.

Welfare is destroying out culture. Many argue that welfare is necessary

for many families, and that it must not be cut. Some argue that it is giving

starving families the boost they need to make it one more year. This is only

partially true...
