Welfare - are you for or against it and why?

[Violet]

There's a difference between having a drink, and drinking it like water. Same with ciggarettes and marijuana.

Whats the solution? 80% of it goes to expenses, some sort of voucher/direct payment on bills scheme and 20% of it in cash for whatever they want?

Treat welfare like a job? You have to have the drug testing and what have you in addition to the job searching/skills training?

I'm not against them having that stuff, I am against them spending 70% of the taxpayer money they receive on it (the same goes for gambling), but a solution is beyond me.

As needed as water is to me are cigarettes needed by those addicted.

My 'solutions' are fascinating. And they are not alone in their being solutions. As if a non-problem required a solution.

You do not have to observe drug testing on a job... so long as the parameters of the job are completed. The methodology by which parameters are met is secondary. Methodologies which do not carry negatively perceived baggage into fulfilling the goal are irrelevant when the job is done.

Taxpayer money amuses me. As if it was theirs to begin with.
