  • [quote]To obtain a welfare check you should a) pass a drug test,[/quote] [url=http://communities.washingtontimes.com/neighborhood/consider-again/2013/apr/29/drug-testing-welfare-recipients-not-so-fast/]I agree with that idea in principle, but it costs more than it saves.[/url] [quote]b) be working towards a job[/quote] As I understand it, that is already a requirement. [quote]meet a certain amount of pay (if your revenue (after taxes) is above a certain limit then you shouldnt get welfare checks)[/quote] That already exists. Mitt Romney cannot apply for welfare, he's too -blam!-ing rich. [quote]d) have no felony's in the past 5 years,[/quote] Okay, let's play along with that idea. A felon just gets out of jail. Obviously, he has no job. Given his criminal record, he's going to have trouble finding work for awhile. Without welfare, his incentive to turn back to crime increases tenfold. I understand the principle of such a policy, but it creates an environment of crime that no one wants. [quote]have a valid id and proof of citizenship[/quote] I agree, I want welfare to go to American citizens, not illegal immigrants.

  • the better solution is to fix the -blam!-ing economy. Lower taxes get more people employed more revenue going to the government
