I do not remember actually stating what I think the solution is. I fail to see a problem with abuse, especially since you have no stats to back it up. I do not believe getting rid of these programs is the answer, nor do I believe they are the heart of the problem. My country needs more jobs, and on top of that, jobs with living wages (after all, working people can go on welfare). Welfare is only meant to be short-term (unless there is a long-term disability), so we should make living wage jobs, education, training, etc available to ensure there are means to be lifted out of the need for assistance. The system as a whole needs revamping and fine-tuning, not specifically welfare, and needs to be done in a way that recognizes how the United States operates. Right now especially, cutting programs that help the poor is not going to help lift them out of poverty in the US economy.
