The Republicunts Go Marie Antoinette One Better

They don't have jobs with living wages and have kids to feed, etc. There are reasons why able bodied people are on welfare. Yeah, finding them jobs wont do any good if the jobs DO NOT PAY LIVING WAGES. You cannot cut that out of the equation.

What will cutting welfare solve in the context of America's current situation?

Well my friend, there are a lot of people in my country who have kids and live on the minimum wage, but they still live. They eat one bread less than you or me, but they still live. Raise the minimum wages to suit the country's current economic climate. Of course, since you Americans lack any form of collective thought that could perhaps aim to bring about a rise in national well-being, increasing taxes to fund better social programs like providing your unskilled labor with jobs is not going to fly, neither is the raising of the minimum wage because it won't fit in with your rich multi-national corporates.
Well, either cut off welfare entirely, or bring about a real welfare state that aims for social engineering and healthy communities.
Hybrid systems almost always never work. You're capitalist, yet you have the government going around distributing tax-payer money to people?
Of course people are going to object.
You have unemployment and poverty, yet you want more immigration and "immiration reform" that will legalize your illegal aliens, making jobs less accessible for the natives.

Since you've been giving welfare to these guys for some time now, cutting off welfare would cause most to still pull through in one way or the other, by finding some minimum wage job as an unskilled laborer, but would probably struggle still, perhaps think twice before not using a condom while fugging.
Design a real welfare system, for I think this is quite like throwing bones to a dog.
