Social Services Reform

Hello and Good Day! Thank you for any and all consideration to my proposal for Socialist Services Reform (as I call it). Currently the Social Services is a program that is either an all or nothing program. Costing our Government billions of dollars in unecessary spending. This proposal just migh benefit Mr. Musk and Mr. Rameswamy. Our current program forces people stuck in the middle wanting to work and earn a livable wage to have to continue to be forced to be stuck living in poverty. The current structure of the program is such that if a person earns as little as ten dollars to much a month more they can loose all of their benefits for food stamps, housing, medical and or child care through social services.
We all know ten dollars more a month will not even come close to bridging the gap between livibg in poverty and meeting a (real) standard of living. ( Which by the way is a joke) and no where near the real cost of living.
A person may now be able to pay ten dollars more on a light bill or ten dollars more for a block if cheese but it really does nothing to improve their luving situation. Yet currently that ten dollar more a month earnings could completely cost a person hundres of dollars in assistance. The can loose all of their housing, food allotment, medical
and child care asstistane. And people wonder why our system is so over loaded with people stayng on a program that they are forced to live within it’s parameters or loose everything.
My proposal for social Services Reform is to go from an all or nothing program to a suplimental program allowing people to actually be able to earn and grow so they can slowly climb out of poverty. Currently you have to go from 0 to winning the lottery before they can actually meet a real standard of living.
Phase 1. Enclude in the new census an actual housing evaluation to find out what the real average cost of housing is in each of our varied communities. We need real numbers not the educated idoit numbers some number cruncher from one of our higher educated instutions plucked out their backside and said this is what the rents are and the poverty level is in each particilar state. We need to go by communities. In my state rents vary from city to city.
Phase 2. Give a person time. Say ninety days to see if they can continually make ten dollars more a month and at the end of the time if they can then deduct ten dollars from their benefits ( such as ten dollars of their food stamps. Thus the program becomes a suplimental program allowing people like myself to slowy climb out the pit of povery.
The benefit to the people and pur govetnment is this restructuring allows the tax payers to not have to carry the burden of the whole cost of paying for everything for people on disability or who are receiving benefits. Instead as a person earns more the less the government needs to pay out. Yes this does include medical because once a person makes enough to pay for their own premiums they don’t need to be on medicaide any more. Once they can earn enough to not need housing or they can earn enough and pay for all or oart of their own child care the program just pays the difference. This takes a big burden off our tax payers and government thusly saving billions of dollars.
Many if us on disabilty were once hard working prideful people. We just need a realistic hand up not hand outs.
In 2018 after working 2 and 3 jobs for 30 years I had raised my son and his best friend as a single mom. I was finally going to school for business I had ideas for 2 B corporations I wanted to start. One year into the program I was going to school full time and working 2 jobs. My body completely shut down and I ended up in a comma and in ICU for a month and rehab another month as when I woke up I couldn’t stand, walk, talk, or feed myself. Now I can walk again and try hard to do what I can for mysel. I am not LAZY just because I need medical and financial assistance right now and I’m really tired of our political leaders like Gatez and yes, even President Trump buying in to the lies about us. We just need a way to be able to get out of poverty. This proposal should have and could have been done 50 plus years ago. In that 50 years both partys have had complete control of the Congress, Senate and Presidency.; yet nothing was done to resolve this issue. I hope and pray this will be seen and considered by the current adminstration . We are not a bunch of freeloaders we just want an opportinuty to provide for ourselves. Thank you for your consideration.

Sorry for all the typos, I left my glasses at home.

I will disagree with you on the part where you said President Trump. President Trump has done more for people living in poverty than anybody ever has. But people take advantage and become dependent on the system and no longer try to better themselves. If you worked and put into SS and get hurt you collect disability but if you never worked and get hurt NO you should not collect anything. I worked 40 years of my life and got hurt and I am on SS disability and I get nothing compared to what I put into the system. The government won’t give me a Dime why because I’m white. So the system in itself needs to be revamped where it’s a time limit. You should only be allowed assistance for no more than 6 months. It was never meant to be a permanent fix.

He has publically in his speaches basically called us freeloaders and k ess thans. I love Trumps policy changes he proposes. And his willingness to listen to people. That was during his kadt campagin so I think things like the reality of the dusgystingly socialist system has taught him a few things and yes he can be a very compassionate man so I didn’t mean to infer he hasn’t k earned a lot since back then. I hope he hears this message . As I understand many things will be changing for the betterment if those stuck living in poverty. However, I still hope gets the message that many of us just want the ability to work our way back to creating and sustaining our lives. Thank you for your time in reading my proposal. Giid day Godspeed. And yes I do think those sponging off the system need to jailed for theft. This program is here to help people not for one to be our cingress and senate members and live on forever. Those taking from the system without consious ate stealing from others in need.
