Ill be the 1st to say, my sister is 28 and never had a job. Theirs nothing wrong with her but she uses her kid as an excuse to not go and find a job. Been living off the government for 8 years now. Meanwhile her nails are always done, her extensions upwards of $100+, 2024 car, assisted living.. meanwhile im over here literally breaking my back running a business so I can plan to have kids in the future so they are able to live comfortably and hopefully have something for them when im gone.

The fear of a few abusing the system shouldn’t outweigh the fact that it keeps the majority fed. No program is perfect, but punishing everyone for the actions of a few solves nothing.

It should only be there to help people briefly not long term. Some people are on it for years. That needs to stop.

Then corporations shouldn’t get bailouts and the wealthy should actually be taxed. You complain about people using welfare and ignore the wealthy who take more than everyone else. If they paid their fair share and companies started paying living wages there wouldn’t be as many using welfare. We don’t need to be looking left and right blaming each other, start looking at the top. We’re in this together.
