Gov Thompson re-vamped the welfare system in WI and it's working beautifully. He didn't deny help to those who need it, but welfare should be a temporary situation-WI no longer provides unlimited cash benefits - after a certain period of time W-2 recipients are required to work. AND the State assists you in finding a job. I work in Human Services and a large percentage of those have found full time, good paying jobs and are soooo grateful. Of the minority who are not happy with the present system, well they're still trying to 'work' the system. I've seen my share of those who just REFUSE to work. And there are a greater majority of those who are grateful for the 'help' they received to get back on their feet.
And yes, there are those in the system who can not work, but we are not talking about them........just able bodied people who CAN work--any reason NOT to limit their benefits?
