A large majority of funds goes to welfare. The question is whether it should. You, I'm assuming, believe yes. Vince believes no. I believe neither of you are seeing the middle ground. And as much as this makes me out to be a communist, I could really care less. I believe it to be a good idea.

Welfare in its current existance allows for far to many people to actually "steal" from the system. They intentionally keep themselves on welfare and perform certain deeds that allow them more amounts of money. Than you have those who truly deserve it. Those who are just on bad times and need a little helping hand. How do you create a system that works for both?

Simple you require the recipiant of welfare to work on some government contract institution, or work for some company they are in essence contracted out too. For working they get a paycheck, education, possibly room and board, and other essential items to their betterment. And the work they are putting in is also funding what they are taking out of the government, perhaps not completely in some cases. But it would be doing far more, than what the current system has them putting back in.

Just my thoughts.
