Awesome.
More desperate people = more crime. But your government doesn't care.

-
Yet people on welfare/assistance still commit crime
-
And taking their welfare will have them commit even MORE crime.
-
The way that opponents of benefits see it, this kind of welfare only keeps people dependent on the government, rather than making better lives for themselves. The government is imposing an artificially low standard of living on them and holding them back from the jobs or job training that's out there. If people aren't kept depressed by the government, there will be less crime and whatnot.

Edited by Deleted User: 12/28/2013 6:14:34 PMThere are no stats to back this claim up. You know for a fact that were still in recession putting people out of money will just create crime and a much larger Low income then there is. Unemoloyment benefits are there to help those who are having problems trying to find a job. Everyone in low income lives paycheck to paycheck hardly enough to buy food in todays world. You take away that paycheck some may not be able to afford rent mortgages. Its not good.

I don't have any stats on it, since it isn't my opinion, but I guarantee a quick visit to the Cato Institute's website will give you results. Or the Heritage Foundation.

Good. There's free food and shelter if you commit crime. It's called jail.
-
Jail is free in the same way welfare is: it's the taxpayers' burden. Except that with jail, you're literally paying for people not to be productive members of society; at least unemployment benefit recipients aren't physically blocked from doing so.
-
Well, Jails don't have to be run that way. Before 2000, I believe, Texas jails actually turned a profit.
-
Exactly.
-
Not to mention much more costly.
