Welfare is a program that gives support to those who need it. Such as food stamps, or money for a child they can't afford to support for. This program may sound like a great idea, but Welfare is abused by many people who are capable to live without it. We believe less people should be on welfare. And that welfare shouldn't be a persons' main source of income. There should also be more time restrictions on how long someone is on welfare. Also, our government spent $131.9 billion on welfare last year. That number should be reduced significantly by limiting the amount of time people can receive while on Welfare. We feel this way because many people can receive a pretty good amount of money. In fact, in 8 states, people on Welfare can make more than the average salary of a teacher. As of 1/1/14, the maximum amount of money you can receive while on Welfare is $1000 a month. We as a country should push that total down to $800, so we can limit the amount of people on it, and limit down to people who are in desperate need of it. Welfare isn't the only program that is abused too much. People take advantage of food stamps, AFDC, and TANF. WE DON'T NEED TO BE SPENDING $131.9 BILLION ON WELFARE!!!!! So join us, the Republican Party of the United States to help welfare.
