cut all welfare. Not one dime. You don’t get a che k for being blind, you don’t get a check for being homeless, you don’t get a check for being retarded, you don’t get a check for being an immigrant etc. Nothing. Take care of yourself, go to your family or a church.

” Not one dime. You don’t get a che k for being blind, you don’t get a check for being homeless, you don’t get a check for being retarded”

May you be struck blind, homeless and retarded. Well, you’ve already got the retarded part covered.

Goldwater, in The Conscience of a Conservative, advocated getting rid of welfare in favor of private charity:
Let welfare be a private concern. Let it be promoted by individuals and families, by churches, private hospitals, religious service organizations, community charities and other institutions that have been established for this purpose.

If the objection is raised that private institutions lack sufficient funds, let us remember that every penny the federal government does not appropriate for welfare is potentially available for private use—and without the overhead charge for processing the money through the federal bureaucracy.

Indeed, high taxes, for which government welfarism is so largely responsible, is the biggest obstacle to fund raising by private charities.

cut all welfare.

..........
As the child of a social worker, I agree(seeing it firsthand) that welfare is nearly 100% fraud and should be eliminated.

People would scream and politicians who would vote for it are political toast.

But we can downscale in increments.
