But welfare in the U.S. does have strings...and they run straight to the Democrat Party. Vote for the Democrats and you’ll get your fix.

Sure it does.

It helps the bureaucracy.

Nuff said.

Welfare should be treated like a loan. It’s supposed to help you get back on your feet. When you do get back on your feet, instead of a tax refund, it goes to pay back your “loan”.
Only people who should continue to get welfare, are ones who are physically or mentally incapable of working.

EBT cards should be programmed just for a limited amount of dry beans and rice. It would fix the obesity epidemic.

At one time the churches were the source of help for the poor. Now the left is eliminating Christianity and taking the place of the churches and the family.

Maybe we should require implanted birth control, with monthly verification testing, to remain on welfare. For all women of all races in the USA: On the government dole? No more babies.

How about no EBT cards period—just bags of beans and rice, directly handed out.

Imagine if subsistence welfare became truly subsistence:

Three hots and a cot in poverty wards, basic medical, bad teeth pulled, no food cards, no cell phones, no TVs, no smart devices, no pornography, curfew for entry, birth control implants required & monitored, mentally ill go to sanitariums (we’ll need to open/re-open many), tules for banishment, etc.

Welfare Without Strings Helps No One

- one cannot get something for nothing
- one must give in order to get
- there is always a way and something for a person to give
- the law of radiation and attraction determines what and how much one gets
- think positively because like attracts like

LBJ’s Great Society was huge success.

It destroyed the black family structure and made minorities wards of the fedgov and lifetime Dem voters.

The only difficult part for Dems now is acting surprised when they shoot each other up.

Only trouble is, people can easily find unscrupulous doctors who will sign documents falsely claiming that the patient is physically or mentally incapable of working. I've known people who did this. Word gets out, and more and more people "scam the system." There's no shame in this now. People brag about it and teach their friends how to do it. People who really do need help are often denied, treated with suspicion, and/or made to jump through hoops because there is so much cheating.

No. People in need should go to charities, churches, food banks, friends, and family for help.

On the government dole? No more babies.

And no more voting. People on welfare should not be able to vote themselves more welfare, paid for by others.

i agree with that!!
No voting until you pay back the welfare you needed to get through, would be the way I would make it.
