Everyone knows welfare can be abused. But who, exactly, are we helping by simply ripping it away from those who DO need it? It's like pills: they can be used correctly, or they can be abused. But how much sense does it make if we take pills of any abusable kind off the shelves because of those abusing them?
Now, before those select few choose to attack me based on my argument, let me make this clear: I am not an advocate for life-long welfare status. I recommend a system that allows those who need welfare to use it as they need it and, dependent on improvement over time, they can remain on welfare from 2 to 5 years. If someone has shown severely minor to no improvement, they will be dealt with concerning why they haven't. Comments?
