If your stance is: "We need Welfare reform." for the purposes of weeding out the abusers and such, then sure, that is a reasonable stance and I agree with you.
But the way you were coming off in here was: "End all Welfare, **** everyone and screw the Welfare loving Liberals!" Just an fyi.

The trouble is that the root of the problem lies within lack of education, and there is no way to force a kid into school/college against their will if they lack a desire to pass. If the youth were properly educated they would have no problem getting jobs. However they grow up uneducated and only qualify for the menial job market, which is ferociously competitive, and when they can't get jobs there, that's when they resort to welfare and/or crime.
I got my job right out of university, so I really don't have any extensive experience when it comes to job searching let alone job searching in the United States.
But I have a hard time believing that there are no jobs for uneducated workers. Going by the video in the opening post it seems to me that the unemployed don't want to work, or at the very least they won't settle for just any job, which is the wrong mentality.
One thing could be to limit what you can purchase with food stamps to the cheaper brands of vegetables, potatoes, rice, pasta, beans, fish and meats. if people want to eat out, buy soda or candy they should have to work.
There are restrictions on what you can and can't buy with food stamps, the allowing of junk food is silly, should be done based on nutritional value, which would weed out candy, soda and most other junk food

edit: nvm, you were saying basically the same thing

Abolish these and you'll see an increase in the demand of jobs.

Agreed on all points.

Seems like you're implying that people on assistance who could work, would work, if they couldn't get soda, cookies and candy for free anymore.
Seems a bit of a stretch to me.

No. What I'm saying is that people who don't work should settle for base foods. It makes no sense that the government should feed them candy, sodas and energy drinks.

Cut it off. Make people get jobs. It's really that simple.
Feeding people for free is why people don't wanna work to become better individuals.
Yes, it's a good program for the underprivileged, but many lazy ****ers who are physically fit and can apply for jobs are taking advantage of it.

As for people selling food stamps, couldn't you just print them out with a name and birth date and then do an ID check at the register?
