Bottom line when people EXPECT help it is no longer help it is being a LAZY piece of trash

Don't get me started on the younger kids.
I live at ground zero next to the trash and see it daily.
Her 3 younger ones 4 yrs, 6yrs, 7 yrs were throwing trash and rotten eggs at one of my tenants property every day.
Got tired of calling cops to file report and hired Scott fence to put up a privacy fence.
Next day I watched all 3 of them tear up my fence.
Same day all three of the kids had both his hands broken.
Sad, just don't know how that happened.

Same family has four old kids all under 15 yrs old and yes they all pack heat.

I know its aggravating to hear stories about welfare programs.
When you live next to it and see it daily I bet it would piss most people off even more.

I can agree with that for sure.......

It's larger than welfare too. I actually had an employee state he did not want a raise or work overtime because it would put him in a compensation bracket that would take away his assistance.

We have largely become a society where mediocrity is the norm and success is demonized.

2) only buy "welfare brand" food no name brand stuff .
3) have to take mandatory classes to learn a skill or trade , some kind of education to better themselves and insure the welfare is a temporary thing not a lifestyle.
4) I prefer no EBT cards but a weekly pick up in food that way you are forced to take it no trading welfare cards for drugs
5) monthly inspection of living environment to insure 10 welfare people arnt living in one home neglecting kids

Great post, I couldn't agree more with each listed requirement.

Way they get around the job training class.
They take a job training class and graduate.
Then enroll in another job training class.
They never are forced to accept employment.

My solution require them to take a job training class.
Similar to work release have employers setup where they take a class a day or two a week and work for xyz employer when not in class.
If they quit or get fired they cannot get back on benefits for x amount of years.
