No....you’re wrong because you have already conceded the point that welfare is a moral choice and necessary government function.
It is theft by government, period.
End welfare and anything that even smells like welfare, medicare, medicaid, social security, and any other program that is a transfer payment.
This is the work of private charity not government.
I remember back in the 80's and seeing the Hippee trash, thining one day one of those will some day be President or in Congress. WELL it happened.
Now think beyond this, ONE day one/some of these WELFARE QUEENS or Princes will be President or in Congress. By then they will be Appointed. it will happen, hope I'm dead.
Nice. But needs this version as well.

OK then, until the time the REAL father can be found, DNA, she WILL NOT GET NOTHING/ZILCH.
I am so sick and tired of watching these QUEENS spit out one baby after another, with no concequences.
These babies all from differant dads, and he is screwing every whore in the block, dropping his seed all over the place. Those kids will next be screwing their own sisters and brothers, cousins, aunts, & uncles.
Don't anyone say this is not happening, either. It is a disaster, in the making as we type, it's their only job.
Reject the premise.
I'd like to see statistics neighborhood by neighborhood - race by race. But of course the MSM isn't interested.
It's gone past who is really disabled - - to who knows how to work the system. Those who know how to 'play' are winning...as usual.
Not many billboards for ‘fighting for YOUR disability rights’ in some neighborhoods - very common in others...
It might not make a big difference overall, but every long journey begins with the first step.
This plan is an improvement over what we have now in that it demands some accountability and performance from the recipient, but it still leaves government in charge of administering the welfare assistance. Unlike King Midas, whatever the Gubmint touches sure don’t turn to Gold!
In the old days, there were workhouses for the indigent. This is an idea that we could use today - an employer of last resort.
Also, I remember back in the 50’s, the churches and society ladies raised a lot of money for helping the poor. They also demanded something from the recipients and made sure the recipients were not just useless sponges. We could have it that way again. Why not let everyone have their fun parties and raise money for good causes at the same time? Why let faceless bureaucrats just fritter money away?
The change in welfare over the years was prompted by a loss of religious values. People now are not “deadbeats” or “dopeheads”, they are “sick” or “oppressed”. Personal responsibility is not longer demanded.

Not exactly new, it was a negative side effect of welfare reform ~ 1990s ....although some of the 60 minutes shows exposing drug addicts buying drugs with the money was supposed to lead to changes by congress so drug addicts and prisoners couldnt get it, if proved.
Many times I think we were better off with welfare. Welfare reform resulted in demands for more and more government jobs for those people which is way more expensive (compassionate conservatism provided those) and just gave them money to contribute to Democrats campaigns, and dont get me started on child support laws.....but welfare was cheaper as long as there are no section 8 vouchers.
You’re right, SSI is the real outrage. I know a woman, let’s call her Patty, who is obsessed with a celebrity. When her boss wouldn’t give her time off to go see the celebrity in concert, she found a doctor who would fake paperwork saying that she was subject to seizures. In a performance worthy of an Academy Award, she faked a seizure in front of the judge. As a result, she got on SSI.
Patty’s roommate, “Jane,” who is also obsessed with the same celebrity, claimed to be Patty’s “aide.” This is a great scam, because the idea is, Patty supposedly cannot go anywhere without her “aide,” Jane. So when they travel to see the celebrity, Jane travels for free. Plus Jane actually collects a SALARY for being an “aide” to someone who doesn’t need an aide any more than I do!
The two of them have all the time and money in the world to follow this celebrity’s concert tour all over the country. They have full, free medical and dental care. They have computers, nice cameras, whatever they want. Taxpayers are paying for them to be full-time, professional “fans.” And I’m sure there are many more people doing the same thing!
I like the sentiment but I think everyone knows given our court system today these would be tossed out as unconstitutional. Further the manpower to check up on these people I don’t want to have to pay for, and further, I seriously don’t want government in any form being able to go big brother on any segment of our population - that just gets abused and bigger in the long run.
My answer to this is simple. And it is far more humane and moral than having government make contracts with people that have all these conditions on it.
The answer is no welfare at all from any level of government. Period. Like it used to be. What they can provide is a printed up list of charitable organizations, churches, food banks, job centers, etc and pass them out to people. That’s it.
No contracts, no castrating people, no random testing, no additional bureaucratic infrastructure to enforce contract provisions (ie no bigger nanny state/big brother state), nothing a court can toss out in a lawsuit.
That’s the solution. Point them to the private groups and charities that do a far better job at helping people in need, than the government ever could.
