For years, I've thought that people who DO receive financial support from the government, should have to either work themselves in some capacity, or the government should provide work FOR them. Think about it. How many stupid, menial jobs could be done by so-called 'disabled' people, or just plain 'poor' people who claim they cannot find jobs? It would save the government hundreds of thousands of dollars at the very least, as well as help people fend for themselves instead of using the support as a crutch. Even if they set up people for so many hours a week, doing work at home on their computers, just boring simple stuff that anyone could do. There are very few cases where people are actually TOO disabled to do any form of work.
Agreed.
They make people that are convicted of misdemeanors around hear do community service work, as part of their sentence.
Why the hell can't they put welfare recipients to work doing community service? I say make them clean up the town 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week. Why the hell should the city pay people to do this when they can get it done with welfare recipients? They need to start earning their keep. I'm all for drug testing them too. Piss dirty and they lose their free ride.
