Welfare trap

Is social welfare a “poverty trap” or a “safety net”? Social welfare in the United States has been a hotly debated topic, ever since 1776. I am sure it goes further back but I will stick with 1776. Benjamin Franklin has at one time, spoken about how he felt about social welfare. According to Franklin, “…I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means.—I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more…

Welfare is a very helpful program that helps support Americans with low-income. It’s nice to help those who can’t support their family because of financial issues. Although, it would be nice to support welfare recipients who work for their welfare check instead of those who sit down all day and expect the government to deal with their financial problems. Working for welfare makes sense because why should hardworking Americans give up money on pay checks that they’ve earned and give it to those…

For example when Christopher found the letters from his mother, he pulled the box out of a trap door on the floor of the stage. Also at the end of the play, the puppy Christopher’s dad got him went down a trap door to exit the stage. Similar to the trap doors, the…

“ 'Cause it 's the first of the month and now we smokin ', chokin ', rollin ' blunts” is a line from rap group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s song “1st of Tha Month”, telling how welfare recipients collect their benefits at the beginning of each month, only to go and purchase illegal substances (i.e. drugs): but how much of this holds true? (Bone Thugs-N-Harmony). Controversy has been stirred in recent years over this hot political topic of whether or not welfare recipients should be tested for drug…

Abusing the welfare system has always been an issue in the United States. There are thousands of able-bodied capable adults, without children, who are not plagued by a disability, collecting the benefits of the welfare. With how our welfare system is set up right now, recipients can collect taxpayer money with little to no work, and not contributing to their community at all. Now, kicking off every adult believed to be able bodied, is not what is going to happen. There will be better programs…
