Government Assistance!


How long can you receive food stamps for?

the problem with federal aid is that over time a person goes from feeling some kind of shame for needing the help to feeling that the government owes them for whatever they can justify in their mind. I don't know how they make the transition but I have noticed it in numerous cases. Their inlays the problem because the beneficiary passes this jaded position along to other family members. That is when you get generations of people living on federal assistance and having no shame and no intention of of standing on their own. Simply put : If you are not required to work many will not and the parameters put forth to receive aid are easily overcome

I found this article on the internet and am so puzzled. That people get into a rut that they begin to live comfortable living off the government. Shouldn't the government assistance be temporary. These mothers who have all these children and then go and ask for help. But the question is you got yourself in this predicament so get yourself out. There is so much help out there not to get pregnant but these women think anyways i can get help and not work and live off the system. This really bugs me because I know someone who is like this. I see no motivation in this person to do better for herself for the sake of her children. Instead is proud to say, "oh i got my section 8 so I am looking for a house kind of cheap so the rest of the voucher can pay for light and water." When does this women every plan to get a real job and reach goal that she has never met. Never why?
  1. If she were to get a job then the food stamps would lower the amount she receives, then that limits her.
  2. If she were to get a job then she would have to begin to pay rent and why would she want that?
  3. If she were to get a job then maybe she would not qualify for Medicaid.
This just really bugs me, because there are so many people out in this world that need some assistance for awhile and don't qualify. I think the government needs to enforce more responsibilities on these type of people. If you are going to get all this assistance then why not get the assistance of child care. They provide that.

This system is so screwed up.
