I agree 100%

You can't help people that don't want to help themselves.  [b]Welfare should come with mandatory volunteer hours if they aren't employed full time. [/b] Mandatory drug tests as well. I get them random for my employment, why not them?

The only thing our society should provide free is birth control.  So much cheaper than the free abortions and free welfare for 18+ years for the unwanted child b[/quote]

It does. Since the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, aka "ending welfare as we know it". After which the proportion of poor families who receive cash assistance shrank enormously, and continues to shrink. Currently only about 23 in 100 poor families receive cash assistance from welfare nationwide -- ranging from 4 in 100 in Louisiana to 65 in 100 in California.

That doesn't look like a safety net to me.

As for, why not mandatory drug testing? Because it costs more than it saves; because people on public assistance use drugs at the same rate as people not on public assistance; and because it's unconstitutional.

Finally, how are children supposed to be helping themselves?

Bs. Obama changed those requirements that were put in by Clinton , himself a welfare baby who wanted to break the cycle. Clinton was pissed when obama did this. And when obama left office the numbers were through the roof of people on welfare. [/quote]
