Exactly! Welfare, as I knew it, was assistance. I didn't like having to get welfare, but I had to do what I could to house and feed my family. It gave me time to figure out what I needed to do to support myself and family. That's what welfare should be. Although I can understand that there are those with handicaps that preclude them from seeking a job that will support them adequately, it should never have been a long term living for those of able body.It SHOULD be embarrassing to be on welfare. When my daughter was born we had WIC. It was embarrassing as hell to go to the grocery store because everyone could see that I wasn’t able to feed my own child. I hated it and did everything I could to become self sufficient again.
I remember at one point Obama giving some speech saying nobody should be embarrassed because the are on welfare. I say that’s bullshit. Doesn’t mean I will treat someone poorly because they have it. But they should have enough moral character to feel ashamed about living off of others. If they did, the welfare system wouldn’t be such a mess.
