We need to reform our welfare system while still providing funds to those who need it. I believe we should give one year to those who are not working to start job training or further education free of cost. People should provide proof of applications that are not working if capable of working just like they do when they receive unemployment. I do not feel we should continue to provide extra money to people that have more children after the original amount of assistance provided. We also need to be realistic and understand that especially depending on where you live that people making under a certain amount of money do need extra assistance to make it in this world. Everything has increased from groceries, rent, car insurance and basically everything else across the board. I do think minimum wage could increase some to a point- but I also understand that this would increase cost of products and services to everyone should minimum wage be increased too much.
