Welfare is great! I was on welfare when i came to USA back in '93.

It helped my family greatly, we were able to get an apartment to live in, and have medical coverage and food on the table for the first few months while we were here. We were on welfare for total of 4 months, both mom and dad started working within 3 months after getting here, it was a minimum wage job, so they both had to work, one whole salary went to rent, the other was for food. But we were off welfare within 3 months, and the extra check and food stamps we got we paid it back, we used it and then found out we had to pay it back.

Hopefully the deadbeats don't destroy welfare, because it is a great temporary solution to help families that are in need rather than deadbeats. They should put in limits and cutoff dates to it, that is all.

If my family could relocate to another country and start a new life, they can get out of their enviroments and start their own lives too while on welfare and start a new job, they already speak English my family didn't! so they have advantage already.

This is a great example of what the welfare system is really for. To help those in need get back on their feet. NOT A LIFESTYLE. Don't get me wrong, if you are hurt, disabled and unable to work, by all means you deserve it. But for those who take it for a free ride, they need to be straightened out.

I worked very hard for everything I have. Some people here may think I have some kind of trust fund or parents who give me money. I don't. Everything you see on my car or that I have I PAID FOR out of money I earned myself (legally of course).

All I'm saying is that it is not fair to tax payers like me and you to have people taking advantange of the system at our expence.

That's what social security is for, what's left of it that is.

When I lived in No Hope we were the only people in the building paying rent. Every one else, and I mean everybody, was on section 8. The worst part is they pretty much all drove $35-$50K cars. I'd run into them at the store buying food with stamps then whiping out a stack of 20's & 100's and buying $50 worth of lotto and tobacco.

Exactly! welfair is a hand up to thoughs who need it, I think we need to keep it around, but fix it.

I agree with you. The problem is not people like yourself that try hard to start a good life. It is the people (any deadbeat) that sit around the house doing nothing and get paided for it. While we (the working class) get stuck with the bill
