Provide affordable to free education, raise the wages, provide birth control free for people, give people decent jobs with insurance and we would not need welfare. Most people on welfare do not want to be on welfare. The ones that do are probably drug addicts. Welfare was originally set up by Roosevelt after The Great Depression of 1929 to get people back on their feet. It was never meant to be the foundation it is now. DSS and the government does not pay for welfare-it comes out of working, tax paying people like myself. There is a way, but that would put alot of people in DSS across the USA out of work. It should be for the elderly and sick who cannot work. Tax Payer!
