skimmed through this thread, didnt read a ton…
i agree with pjb on alot of shit
welfare people should have to go in for WEEKLY drug tests, not just one… I know me personally, i would take 30 min out of my life once a week to have my bills paid for and other people would too.
there should be a certain amount of MONTHLY community service hours a welfare-ee should participate in… main reason people are on welfare is because they cant get a job, community service needs no interviews so they should have no problem. Disabled or elderlee welfare-ees should participate in online surveys or some kind of work that would help out the government in some way, at the very least, tests or home work or something along those lines.
I think all woman should be on mandatory birth control… if your collecting from the government, you cant take care of yourself which means you def cant take care of a kid… you get pregnant or refuse and your dropped.
Also agree with boost creep on the unemployment… while I think it should be given for maybe 12 weeks instead of 4 I think right now the term you can collect is absolutely retarded… 70% of people on unemployment make what there making or close NOT working so why the fuck would they go back to work? If you cant get a job in 3 months your either lazy or your expectations in the field you want to work in or pay you feel you deserve is too high.
agree with everything except for mandatory birth control, i believe supplying them with birth control would ultimately promote irresponsible behavior/prostitution, but i do agree with getting pregnant being grounds for termination of welfare services or at least not increasing benefits to the recipient (either way it would motivate people to strive harder to get a job or make themselves a better candidate for employers)
