Some of these changes include time limits on benefits and requiring welfare recipients to take drug tests. This is a bad situation with those in lower classes. How is this system going to be fixed with high drug use and taxpayers losing money? To limit the problems with the welfare reform system, there should be time limits on benefits and drug…

You as a taxpayer are virtually guaranteed to lose that game.” Over the past few decades, the debate over whether or not sports stadiums should be publically financed has caught more attention with tax payers.

The first taxpayer mostly saw me together with being a resource, as a friend and as a student. She talked to me about my major, my interests, classes I was taking at Furman and what kind of education Furman was providing.

form of punishment? I do not think Nebraska voters should reintroduce the death penalty as our maximum form of punishment. The reasons I have is that innocent people are wrongly executed. The cost of the death penalty is added to the government and taxpayers’. The Death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment. It is a platform that is anti-poor and discrimination.
