I personally beleive it is time to bring back the poor house.

We all are living in a poorhouse right now...we need commonsense solutions to get out of it. Every little bit helps.
Besides,your idea would end up costing more money,and we already have the bunks and communal showers-they're in big buildings called correctional facilities,which do about as good a job of correcting as your poorhouses would.

Really so taking away the choice of pop and lobster and the option of section 8 would keep them in poverty longer rather than taking the high living life style away would is that what you are saying? Poorhouses worked very well in this country until the liberals decided it was degrading to have the poor to work the land to earn their keep
