Reply #47: Welfare traps people because

[Kanary]

of the very belief that you have espoused.... a roof and food in the fridge and nothing else. That leaves NO resources for any kind of improvement... just the opposite...... it traps people into hunkering down to protect the little they *do* have, and resist any risk of losing it.

Maybe welfare *should* be about "assisting people while training them for better jobs", but that is rarely the case. It's been another one of those deals of propose pie in the sky, then don't fund it.

The ones who have been timed off the rolls have simply been lost. While everyone is celebrating the shrinking rolls, there isn't much interest in actually finding out what has happened to those who were just cut off. Does anyone know where they are?
