The Shrinking Welfare State: The New Welfare Legislation and Families
I think most people are split on the issue of welfare. Some see it as a handout to the poor where the recipients will not and do not want to work. Others see it as just helping the unfortunate get back on their feet. Personally, I see it as a little of both. I would love nothing more to help everyone who is willing to help there selves, but I can not see helping someone who has no desire to work and would rather receive money for something they are not doing.
