Welfare is a great idea on paper. It supports our nations people when they are in trouble. Ideally this system should be used temporarily and only by people who truly need it, but people are people. Our current system is regularly abused by many types of people in many different ways. Since having more children gets parents more money they have more kids to get more money. Some states are trying to impose mandatory drug testing to help eliminate the use of federal handouts to fund drug addictions.
