Welfare breeds more welfare. Had years of experience with the old food stamp program. If you are unfamiliar with the food stamp program I suggest you look it up. It was badly abused by recipients. They would sell them to crooks for pennies on the dollar and use the money for booze and drugs and would stay on the program for their entire lives and never consider work as an alternative. Present program is better. However, my solution is, feed the children and let the adults starve or work. The best I remember, Lyndon Johnson was the architect of our current welfare system and it has done nothing for most except make welfare addicts out of recipients. Suggest you look up,and find, and understand the architects, reasons for our welfare system. Do a chronology of who, why, and when, and results.
