That's a horrible way to put it. I thought we already had welfare reform? I do agree that to be eligible you should be drug free and in either a job training program or something though.

That's a horrible way to refer to individuals who are created in the image of the Creator! For every word, one is held accountable. I agree that welfare shouldn't be a give-away, and that there should be some sort of litmus test. I also think that welfare recipients should perform some sort of public service in exchange for what they receive as a way of earning their check, such as doing volunteer work at a non-profit (mopping floors, packing food boxes, etc).

Matthew 22:37-40 LITV And Jesus said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind." Deut. 6:5 (38) This is the first and great commandment. (39) And the second is like it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Lev. 19:18 (40) On these two commandments all the Law and the Prophets hang. Note: Your neighbor is not just the person next door, but every human being.

I understand and agree with his point... but yeah - he could have thought about a different way to say it.
The question is how to determine who is truly needy and who is truly lazy (as he puts it). I'm guessing there are some obvious examples of each - but the gray area in the middle is where it gets tough.

Hey we all agree. I get irritated at those who live off the hand-outs. A good example would be a guy who works where I do. I've only seen him for three days. He was out for a year after he dislocated his shoulder long before I got there. He lived off the worker's comp insurance the whole time and couldn't be fired. When he finally came back to work last November, he was there for 3 days and guess what.....he dislocated his other shoulder and we haven't seen him since.
They definitely need to closely monitor and test these recipients and make it a little harder to skate under the rug. And X has a good suggestion.....a lot of places need volunteers. These people should step up and earn their checks.
Cossy just mentioned something else of note. Maybe the lawmakers should quit stripping funds from schools and other places and start cleaning out their own garage. No more congress per diem. No more free car and gas allowance. Strip down the fat retirements. We vote when they get a raise, not them.....etc. etc.
