Welfare system less likely
The Welfare System is made up
of several different programs that are
federally funded to assist families
with financial needs. Programs con
sist of food stamps, cash assistance,
medical assistance, and general assis
tance. Most of the recipients are non
working mothers with at least one
child. The Welfare System is pres
ently working on programs to help
recipients develop job skills and get
their education.
With programs like these, some
of the recipients that abuse the sys
tem now, will be less likely to abuse
the system after going through some
of these programs. In essence, since
there are not many benefits they need
to survive in this sometimes cruel and
callous world.
Welfare is based upon income
and number of people in a family
(mother, number of children and a
father, in one is around). For cash
assistance they receive about $300 for
a mother who is not working. They
get $70 more per child in the house
hold. $370 is not enough to pay for
rent, utilities or household goods.
Food stamps could cover grocery bills
if they qualify. The stress from wait
ing month to month to receive a wel
fare check is high. The check may
help cover some of the day-to-day
bills, but it will not cover all of them.
Thus, in order to survive, recipients
turn to abusing the welfare system.

Most of the welfare recipients
have little or no education, come
from a minority group (African
American, Hispanic, Native Ameri
can, etc), have little or no job skills
and are fairly young. Some of them
were abandoned by their boyfriend or
husband and suffer from low self-esteem.
Their family backgrounds are
similar consisting of having a single
parent, or parents who are alcohol
ics, domestic violence andor child
abuse and neglect. They have grown
up watching their mother abuse the
system and in turn, also abuse the sys
tem. These recipients end up getting
pregnant at a young age with not
stable like support. They turn to the
welfare system for financial help and
receive amounts that are very small,
which keeps them living in poverty.
They have to lie on their applications
to receive that small amount and end
up going to nearby towns and lying
on their applications to receive more
welfare to keep them just above the
poverty level or they sign up in a dif
ferent name, all just to make a decent
level. At the rates they are getting
now, they have to lie on their appli
cations and apply in nearby towns just
to make a decent living.

finally sets up programs that will help
these people finish their education,
obtain job skills and work experience,

mothers and rehabilitation for drug
addictsalcoholics, they can learn to
be self sufficient. Until these pro
grams become mandatory and con
sistent, welfare recipients will need
to do what they need to get bills paid
keep a roof over their head and keep
food in their mouths.
Some of the programs are good
now, but do not have very good ben
efits. They get to do grunt work, get
paid minimum wages and still have
no more than they started with. A job
paying around six dollars an hour
might be seen as a way off of wel
fare, but when a woman gets a job,
more costs appear. This rate is just
above the poverty line.
With new programs that sup
port these women with more than
cash, they can gain self-esteem, mo
tivation and pride in themselves.
Right now, if they get a job that pays
minimum wage, they get kicked off
the system. If the Federal Govern
ment could elect to pay welfare a cer
tain amount of months after a woman
has gotten a job, this would help the
welfare system, abusing it like before
and having no pride in themselves.
This transition period would help
people on welfare stay focused and
be more successful; After all, who
can really make a living on $10 an
hour with two or three children to
raise by yourself, let alone $6.50 an
hour. Food for thought.
