General Knowledge On Welfare
As we all know America is in its biggest bind with our hands tied when it comes to money but the truth is we as a country are just flat out broke. The government is well in over waist deep, we are more than $14 trillion dollars in debt and still continue to give money to other countries and give away money to our own citizens who do not deserve it. People in America will do anything to get free money and not have to work for it. One of the bigger problems is how the government gives out money to the people on welfare. Welfare is a big deal because it provides the less fortune people in our society and provides them with necessitiesas well as money. These are the people with minimal level of well being. In fairly developed countries like the United States, welfare is provided by the government and is helped out by a numerous amount of charities, and social and religious groups. The lazy and helpless people have taken advantage of groups and charities for many years and we have still not put a stop to it. So the point that wants to get addressed is that people who are on welfare need to be drug tested so America is not giving help to those who do not really need it.
History of Welfare
The history of welfare came along in the 1930’s during the Great Depression. The depression really hit everyone hard and it was a tough era to live through but the strong survived and the government tried to help this cause in anyway possible. In the 1960’s was the first time that a person who was not retired or disabled was given could receive some type of a helping aid from the government. The helping aid consisted of welfare making payments, getting cheap or free healthcare, food stamps, and for pregnant women who could not afford to help themselves to have a healthy baby stay maintained. The Welfare Reform Act of 1996 made welfare a program short-term cash assistance and steer people in the right direction and show them that they can get jobs if they get started on the right foot. Throughout the years of welfare being documented, in the 1970’s California was the most generous state with the best welfare fair system. In 2008 as read in the New York Times, 28.9 percent of households run by women were considered poor.
Welfare is Putting America in a Bigger Debt...
Welfare is putting more debt than needed on Americas shoulders because people are taking advantage of this popular aid. Specifically in health area, Medicaid has been at its highest in the last past ten years. It has jumped a sky rocketing eighty-seven percent from ten years ago. Other aspects of welfare that are increasing is food stamps, child nutrition, energy b
ill
assistance, and tax credits. Everyone and anyone can use
food stamps so the people who are receiving
them are either going to sell the from money, spend them foolishly and
buy big time steaks and high priced everything rather than
just getting the necessities that are needed to get through the day of
everyday life. So many people like these spending foolishly
should be cut off because there are families that our out there that
would die for a piece of bread rather than a fancy steak. Child
nutrition is understandable because the parents are the irresponsible
ones in the first place and making the child suffer so we as Americans
need to provide for our future but only to a certain extent. The
energy bill assistance system should be monitored very closely because
those numbers can add help very quickly because again we can not fail
to provide for our citizens and our future. As far as the tax
credit goes the government should not lend out money to pay these
because at the end of it all the flux is going back in their pocket
anyways. Putting our society
in all the these stress situations and giving in to taxes make people
worse because they know that the government will help them if they
start to get in trouble financially even though these people already
started there in the first place.

Drug Test the People on Welfare
Drug test should really be made required to become a person that receives welfare because you can never take anyones word these days. They will tell you one thing and as soon as they cannot be seen anymore they will do the exact opposite. It is only logical to make drug test a priority because the government should only be giving money to the people who really need it as well as spending on the right things to survive. If we really think about it, most jobs a typical American applies for has to take a drug test to make sure that they are clean and will not take from the company. So if there is a drug test for a job where the individual h
as to actually work for their money why shouldn’t there be a drug test for people who basically get free money?
The Test is in Session
In more than three dozen states in the United States proposed a drug testing for all the helping benefits like welfare, food stamps, unemployment, and public housing. Again from a article from the New York Times “Such laws, which proponents say ensure that tax dollars are not being misused and critics say reinforce stereotypes about the poor, have passed in states including Arizona, Indiana and Missouri.” The state that is really enforcing it it Florida; people receiving cash assistance have to pay for their own drug test and ever since them the results drug remarkably low. It only makes sense that drug use will go down but because parents and care givers only want to provide for their children. Government funding led to policies aimed at ensuring that public benefits were not spent to support addiction.
What about the children?
Parents who do need welfare and have children should be responsible. They should think about the consequences of abtaining drugs, that it will be in cause of result that their child does not get to eat that night. A system has to be made up to where we can bust people who do drugs and get welfare but if they did their child will still be able to eat. It's about the children because they are our future
