Welfare for a few is not their fault, whether it be a serious health problem with no insurance, a disability, etc.

For the majority of people, welfare is a result of personal irresponsibility.

People will makes excuses that they lost their job and can not even go a few weeks without tax payer support.

I say they never saved for a rainy day. They spent every dollar they made each week on nice cell phones, alcohol, cigarrettes, casinos, vacations, nice cars, motocycles, dinners out, going out to the bars, etc. etc. You fill in the blanks where you spend your money on enjoyment.

There are very few people who could not cut down on certain pleasures in life and save some money every month.

Then you have the irresponsible people who choose to take expensive illegal drugs, get addicted, lose their jobs, etc. etc. etc. You know how it works.

Then you have the people who are sexually promiscuous. The welfare roles are filled with unwed mothers. It is a choice to have sex with some dead beat man who would not support any child he created. It's also a choice not to use birth control when fooling around.

There are many welfare people who have a boy friend behind the scenes and still collect welfare checks.

My spouse worked in social services and estimated that over 80% of welfare people in the area were able bodied and not working.

I say the majority of people on Welfare create their own dependence on others. Being raised by bad parents, or no parents is no excuse to live irresponsibly. We all know when we are living irresponsibly. I understand that kids raised with no parents quite often rebel and choose to live irrespnsibly.

Like I always say, welfare most times is a moral issue as well as a broken home issue. it would be nice if politicians just once addressed the core reasons for Government dependence.

I don't care what people do in their own lives as long as they don't expect tax payers to keep bailing them out when they screw up.

I support safety nets for the truly needy through no fault of their own. I support emergency help for all people, but I will not support never ending welfare careers.
