Don't get me wrong. I know that, unfortunately, there are a lot of people who take advantage of the system. And it really makes me angry, because there are actually some people out there who use welfare as a hand up and not a handout, and they're the ones who are done the most harm, since there are politicians who use the abusers as an excuse to get rid of or reduce benefits. What about the children, though? Yes, I know that there have been some welfare recipients who have popped out babies just so they can keep the benefits rolling in. However, regardless of the reason why they were born, these children are here. What should be done with them? How many people realize the fact that if welfare were completely abolished, there would be a lot of hungry kids? Would it be fair to make the kids suffer like that, especially if it's their parents' fault?
