I honestly don't think we're too far from sharing a similar view on this one. Welfare is absolutely needed!(Should be left up to the state though) However, public welfare should NEVER be permanent. Unless you are unable to physically work then there should be strict time restraints put into place. Far too many people game the system.
However, if there isn't a negative stigma and no time line for how long someone can collect items such as food stamps then what is their motivation to get a job to provide for themselves?
So I can certainly agree at a bare minimum there needs to be reform but I truly doubt our current government will reform it in a way to make it more solvent with stricter requirements and guidelines.
This may be a stretch but back before I was born when men were the primary bread winners wasn't it shameful to be unemployed? Almost embarrassing. The negative stigma of being out of work was more than enough motivation to drive most people to work tirelessly to find employment.
Currently there are a lot of people unemployed and are having a difficult time finding work but there is a large amount of people that are looking at layoffs as a much needed break from work. Meaning I know of many people who are sitting back and collecting unemployment while making little to no effort to find employment. And that makes me sick.
See thats what Im saying taking advantage of the system theres people who really truely need aide but then theres those who ride the system as long as they can just saying its not fair to those who need it cant get it and those who dont really need can get it at the drop of a dime.
You guys are really brutal with this one! Yes, I think there should be welfare reform (pun intended), but those who really need it shouldn't be looked at negatively.
I also think there should be child support reform too. Talking about these things aren't PC so people leave them alone, but there is a problem because people take advantage of the system and sit on their butts.
Not saying people dont need help like single parents,but when you see a person go out and get in a really nice car and pay for things with food stamps makes you go hmmmm, and those who need aide cant get it and those who dont need can walk right in and walk out with it its just beyond me.
I tried to add the video but couldnt figure it out lol par normal for me.I've watched this over and over and you can see the flash and then the hit and I sit here thinking omg why would we do that,would we do that just to give a reason to go to war or what ever reason they might have had.
I am bringing up this point because the idea of taxing Co2 is absolutely ridiculous to me. The plants breath C02 for the love of harmony! If Al Gore is going to get rich promoting the political and personal agendas that result in extreme wealth, why should I not introduce a campaign to brainwash society how harmful excess O2 is? Do not get mad at me damnit! This is free enterprise in a free society, right??
If cap and trade passes the environment is going to be the least of our concerns. I will say that nothing would surprise me with the Obama administration. If it was possible they wouldn't hesitate to tax us on the air we breathe.
I am not a huge fan of either, but I still think that twilight is feeding off the jet engine exhaust of harry potter and the market of its younger audience.
