We have to make those who do not want to work..go work. I was going to say back to work...but waaayyy too many never have worked. Too easy to collect welfare and food stamps. And as far as food stamps. Originally it was ONLY for the basics..now they can buy almost anything with them. Don't want the kids to suffer...but originally welfare was only till you could go BACK to work if possible. Ain't that way any more The only way I can see them being coerced to work is make 'em hungry. That really doesn't seem right but I cannot see any other way....well I can but those other ideas may seem a bit harsh. Oh and one other thing..Make fathers responsible for their children. We can find out who the fathers are...we already know the mothers. These are common sense ideas. Not harsh...just smart
