The welfare system should not be a program that increases, “with the philosophy that the more people on the rolls, the better.”
It should be one that decreases annually because it is a stopgap to help people get back on their feet.
And it shouldn’t take several years to get back on your feet if you are healthy, but maybe less than a year.
Those who are on the program should have to meet annual justifications as to why they still need to be on welfare, and what they are doing to get off the program.
That should be a federal requirement, where the states have to justify these people annually, and those justification must meet federal reviews of each.
