How long do you think someone should be allowed to be on Government assistance

[Lovebears65]

I know this family who has been on welfare for generations. I mean their grandparents, parents and now them. All of them are able bodies or were at one time. How long do you think you should be allowed to collect a welfare check. I am sure in that many years they could have done jobs.. Work 2 or 3 jobs to make end meet . Why should the tax payers and the rich pay for the lazy.. Because if you are 3 generations of people on assistance their a problem with you and your family and that is called laziness . It is sad when you can make more on welfare then if you worked in some places. And this is not about wages either.. This is about people being too lazy to get off their asses because the government hands them money so why should they. Maybe if they made it uncomfortable to live on welfare they would get a job... AND THOSE with children. Sorry if you cant afford them then don't breed them. I saw on facebook as well this lady with 4 kids by 4 different baby daddys collecting receives 1200 a month in assistance plus gets free housing or very cheap, free medical and says why get a job if the government is going to pay her to stay home. She is planning on having more children to get more money..

3-5years max with a repay of what was given back to the system. At the very longest - 6 years.
That should be absolutely enough.

 

[Jackson]

Two or three years.

Difficult question to answer.

What are you calling assistance? Student aid? Homestead exemptions? WIC?

Why do corporate welfare recipients always get govt. benefits for the life of the company, farmer or non-profit organization?

I've seen the same thing except I don't know if the grandparents were on the dole but the parents were and some of the kids are. Fortunately it's not common.

Study: Census data show high immigrant participation on US welfare rolls

"A study from the Center for Immigration Studies shows that high percentages of legal and illegal immigrants in America are drawing benefits from at least one major form of welfare.

Using U.S. Census Bureau data from 2010 and 2011, the group analyzed the more than 50 million legal and illegal immigrants and their American-born children under 18 years of age. Large numbers, the limited immigration advocacy group found, are struggling in poverty, reliant on welfare and uninsured.

The study found that in 2010, 36 percent of immigrant-headed households receive benefits from at least one welfare program, compared to just 23 percent of households headed by U.S. natives. Among households with children, immigrant welfare households outnumbered non-immigrants by a similarly wide margin: 57 percent to 40 percent.

Welfare enrollment was highest for households headed by immigrants originating in Mexico, with 57 percent participation. Guatemalan immigrants were second, with 55 percent; those from the Dominican Republic were third, with 54 percent participation.

Immigrants with the lowest rate of welfare participation came to the United States from the United Kingdom, with just 6 percent accessing one or more welfare programs, Germany at 10 percent and Canada with 13 percent, according to the report.

The authors noted that compared with households headed by U.S. natives, twice as many headed by immigrants who have lived in the United States for more than 20 years access welfare programs.

Poverty among immigrants and their children, the report added, dwarfs the rate among American natives, by a 23 percent to 13.5 percent margin.

According to the study, immigrants and their children represent one-quarter of American residents in poverty. Their children are one-third of poverty-stricken children in the U.S. overall."

Long as they need it. If we had a government that gave a shit about the people instead of keeping them on the dole so they would keep voting them back into office this would end quickly with job training,free education etc. You will never get ******* to work the vast majority anyways but most others you can IF you give them the tools or help them get them. Personally I say long as they need it but help them get free education,work training,skills,etc etc...Its what a National Socialist government would do. People should really study how well the workers had it in NS Germany,why the people WANTED to work. It was a sense of pride. I have no pride in being an Amurican.

Two or three years.

So if you go on Medicare when you're 65, you're good till you're 68, and then...

...bring on the death panel??

It could have been a sense of pride or...it could have been fear of being classified as work-shy and then receiving an all expenses paid trip to camp, courtesy of the government.

love those Nazi labor camps: fresh air and all that.

How long do you think someone should be allowed to be on Government assistance

Given the ignorance you and others on the right exhibit with regard to public assistance, you’re in no position to make such a determination.

TANF, for example, already has time limits.

As an important supplemental food program for low income working families, SNAP should have no time limits.

And unemployment compensation isn’t ‘government assistance.’

You and other ignorant rightists need to first research the subject of public assistance, learn what it is and isn’t, then express your opinions accordingly.

Of course you’re at liberty to continue to exhibit your ignorance on the subject, but no one will take you seriously.

Such as now.

Welfare payments , Section 8 , food stamps, child care..

 

[francoHFW]

At the moment, at least as long as the FED supports Wall St...or when the TP ALLOWS THE RECOVERY...

 

[jasonnfree]

I think we should have a national minimum income and single payer healthcare for all and free higher education funded by nationalization of oil and coal industries. This is impossible with our on the take politicians so we need first of all taxpayer only funded elections.

A good percentage of people on this board exist today because of Governmnet programs like the WPA and the TVA.
