Those people are few and far between, no matter how much anecdotal tales people love to throw around. Welfare is difficult to live on
 
not better off and it looks like it will be getting worse.

MY mother was on welfar when she first left her abusive husband with two young children in tow. She worked hard and went to school And got a double bachelors while being a single mother. we lived in a car and in shelters. Welfar does NOT pay well. It did how ever give her the hand she needed to get set up. My mother broke the cycle of poverty and abuse that so many women in the older generations hsa no choice but to endure. She had no living family near, no friends because he kept her isolated. She would not have been able to do it without assistance. So many people see the abusers in a program and assume everyone does it, when in fact for every abuser, there are many more who are not abusing the system.

I do realize there are those that actually need the system. The fault is with the system not the user although some users abuse it.
My mother was on welfare, worked also at the same time, raised 4 kids single and was very happy when she got off welfare but do not be deceived the welfare of the 70's and 80's is not the welfare of today not even close. Wefare is a snare and is used no garner a voting pool by one of the parties of our government and I believe they want that voter group to be dependent on the government. This is a real problem in our government.

Welfare is made to be hard for people that want to better there self. Those people only take it cause they need it an work hard to get out. Its not a lot of money.

But people who want to live for free, it is set up to be easy. Couples do not marry so one can stay home an get welfare. If you get welfare getting Medicaid is easy. Once you have those two it is easy to get free housing. Ad in food stamps an a raise with every kid you have an you can live pretty well of the government. This is pretty common in Chattanooga.

Folks, this is a reminder to abide by the rules. I've already edited a few posts...if the namecalling and degrading of specific races continues, the thread will be locked.
