Way to go Florida! Ground breaking! Maybe the rest of the country will follow suit! There are young, dependant children who are not to blame in these families and they would need interventions from DSS or CPS. I'd rather see my dollars spent there. Sadly, leaving these children in drug using, poverty level homes tends to put them into the system later. Not all but many are generational users of the system. This could hopefully slow that down.
I also would like to see the systems STOP rewarding people already in the system for having even more children. Family size increases so do the benefits and we all have heard the horror stories of those having children just to reap this reward. Cap the benefits.
There are so many currently in need, especially in our economy. It's sad that they are punished by the public because of bias due to abuses. We need to find practical ways to stop the abuse.
Pick our battles , you have to be drug tested by most employers to work , you should be tested for assistance.
If you can't work yet you can afford to get your hair done and take care of your boyfriend then you can afford to pay your bills and buy your food! The working man has been taken advantage long enough in this country! How about instead of giving our tax money to lazy people that wont work, use some of that money to bring our economy back up!
The people that abuse the system and refuse to work are the ones that need to be ashamed of themselves. The tax payers have to pay in yet when you basically have any income you can't qualify for the same assitance that the lazy people or people that aren't even here legally and definitely DO NOT pay any taxes can get.
It's really sad that people that deserve assistance from our Governemnt can't get it. But the people that WON"T work get all they want. They get their rent paid, food bought, money to spend, free health care, etc. Our eldery and disabled veterans are pushed to the side. Why is this?
