I only know one person that's 'on the dole'. She and her kids live with her dad and with his income and her stipend, they barely have two nickels to rub together. I can't say that her situation is anyone's fault but her's but at this point, there's really no way out. What would you do, let her and her kids starve?
well it is an interesting situation. Not sure what to think, since I don't know the facts. Each situation is unique. If your position is there is nothing to do but give them money, I will disagree. Everyone in the country has opportunities, and how one deals with that opportunity dictates the next step. I had a sister-in-law on the dole and she finally left her lazy husband and got off of welfare. She had four kids too. She moved out west to the country, rented a trailer and became self sufficient without the government involved. It just depends on the want of the individual. So does this lady want to improve her quality of life, or is she merely happy with what she gets and the rubbing of two nickels isn't important.
BTW, To say there is no way out is a liberal's cop out!!
