I just saw the link to this on another thread. No wonder 46.5% have been on welfare for more than 2 years. The question isn't, "Why don't people get off welfare?" The question should be, "Why would someone get off welfare?"

The kid getting minimum wage at McDonald's is paying into a pool for someone sitting at home and getting more money than the kid can earn. Welfare recipients in Hawaii get more than a teacher with three years experience would in the state I just left. We need entitlement program reforms.
No, that should tell you that your entitlement programs will NEVER get people back to work.
Entitlement programs should not offer more than what working for a living provide.
Minimum wage is not working for a living, since minimum wage doesn't pay enough to provide for a living. Minimum wage in California is 8 an hour, or about 16,500 a year. Good luck!

Not every place has a COL of California and thank God for that.
Up your CA min wage to $15/hour then but is that even enough ?
“I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed...that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.”
NEVER??? Considering the eligibility for "welfare" over a lifetime is FIVE years you'd have to be a mouse to believe that 5 years is eternity.
That is one government program with a restriction. What about the others ?
