Should states start demanding people and families to take care of themselves after a couple years of having been on assistance?
I work in the human services field and it surprises me to see how many people with children state that they don't work and demand to have financial assistance because they don't want too. Some of them do not work and request financial assistance for daycare when there kids get out of school for the day. It kills me to see so many hardworking people not spending time with their families because they are working for a better life. And because they do work, they don't qualify for assistance they may need to help lessen their burden. While others do nothing and get food stamps, medicaid, welfare, and housing. And is this a message we want to endorse to children. Study hard, try and pay your way through college while racking up debt and work hard or get pregnant young, have hard working citizens pay for you and your child's healthcare, education, housing.
