The social workers and liberal attorneys who are the main problem. Welfare is just a ‘full employement’ program for these jerks.

[Tax-chick]

The social workers and liberal attorneys and the politicians who are buying the votes of the dependent class and all the nicely-paid union employees who "help" them who are the main problem.

I agree. We do not have to compensate people for irresponsible behavior, but we do. You get more of what you pay for, whether it's children in welfare homes or "disabled" people on Social Security whose "disability" is "working makes me tired and stressed."

Cut off the money, and the behaviors will change. Those who wish personally to assist someone may do it through a personal gift or a private charity.

Welfare is only 27% efficient BY THE GOVERNMENTS OWN STATISTICS!!!

That means for this welfare queen taking in probably well over $27,000 per year in ‘benefits’ there is $73,000 lost in the system, or the equivalent of a decent full-time salary.

That's right, about one full-time government employee for each family on welfare, and the govt worker gets 3 times as much money.

Why doesn't the government worker that we are paying $73,000 get sent to her house to hold her knees shut?
