If higher welfare payments keep the leeches in NY,OR, and CA, I’m all for it.
There’s a reason why all these “means tested” programs are scattered among dozens of agencies — so that nobody can easily discover how much any particular person is getting.
Step 1 would need to be to put ALL means-tested programs under one agency, with ONE application and verification process. (then fire all the suddenly redundant government employees).
Step 2 would be to put a ceiling on the total aid a household could get, and make this ceiling less than what the head of household could make at a minimum wage job. And the ceiling does NOT go up if she has additional kids.

The FEMA camps aren’t in the center of town either.
“There is no free lunch, Abolish all Welfare Programs for able bodied people and put up Soup Kitchens on every corner that needs one”
I guess I don’t understand this. You’re saying no free lunch, but put up soup kitchens to give them one. Help please.

Its had the results many wanted all along. Entrennches socialism and confiscation of money from those that earned it to those that didn’t, another divisive political wedge issue, more government going into areas it never was intended or designed to do, more govt power.
Nothing good about it. Government charity isn’t charity. Its tyranny. Let the charities be charities, the churches be churches (who often are also charities), and the government, be government.
Regardless of gender.
The purpose of welfare isn’t the well being of the recipients. It’s to fuel the monster known as big government.
Welfare should help the disabled. It should not be a way of life for the able bodied.
Some of us, of course, have a different view of the matter.

Make people WORK!!!!
We could just let them steal whatever they want, that seems to be working . . .
Well, welfare programs aren’t designed to get people out of poverty, but to keep them in it. So they are working as intended.
You get what you pay for. If you pay people for being poor and unemployed then you will get poor unemployed people.
Amen
Welfare is vote buying. Only lets the elites stay in power.
“I’ll have those ni***rs voting Democrat for the next 200 years.”
President Lyndon Johnson.
Well that's not true. The crime created by funding fatherless families has skyrocketed, and the spending created by this welfare vote buying scheme has also skyrocketed.
Let us not fool ourselves. Welfare was never about anything other than bribing poor people to vote Democrat and keep liberals in power, so that their corrupt influence selling schemes and rewarding of cronies with government money could continue.
Welfare is primarily about keeping liberals in power, and nothing else.
The way the legal system is structured now, you can't get there from here.
The Courts will hold that every one of these worthless indolent people have a right to create as many babies as they want.
I have long suggested that the system offer money incentives to get free vasectomies and tubal ligations for anyone that wants them.
But making them stop? Not going to happen.
Inflation was 100% under Obama, and close to that again under Bitchden.
