15. I invite EVERYONE who criticizes welfare recipients to change places with
one. For a month. See how it is living on a fixed income in this country. For an added month, try working at minimum wage (since you want recipients to get a job, and that's all most of them can get). Try living on your minimum wage job, losing some benefits (after all, benefit levels are determined by income), having to pay for child care, transportation, etc...see how "easy" these people have it.

Oh, and by the way, Social Security is an "entitlement" just as TANF and Food Stamps are, so get off your high horse.
