If your word was the last word on the subject: Who would qualify for welfare?

only the people COMPLETELY incapable of working everyone else needs to work, and have a good work ethic, welfare destroys the spirit of a good economy.

The strength is helping the deserving poor get back on their feet and the elderly stay alive. The weakness of course is the people that abuse it. Who would qualify? People with children under 16 that can pass a drug test and the disabled or elderly with no income.other than SS.

It obviously has the weakness of encouraging people to not work.
It can happen to anyone to have some unfortunate circumstances fall upon them. But it should be designed to get them back into self support and quickly and be considered an undesirable circumstance enough that the person is extremely motivated to get back on their feet.
Now people who honestly cannot work because of a disabling circumstance and no other means, those people I am more sympathetic to.
As far as jens example I dont consider apprenticeships, student loans (long as they are paid back) etc and the like as welfare. welfare is in its form now, when you get something for nothing.

It should not come alone. With financial support, ther eshould be made available beginning opportunities and education and subsidies and benefits.
Those who need a hand up should qualify; every person in the country who has been laid off, disabled, graduated or dropped out and is looking for work, etc. But co-ops, apprenticeships, grants and student loans, real help to increase employability are the key.
Pro-lifers seem to stop being so pro- at the moment of birth. Dr. Laura Schlesinger wants every mother to stay home til their kids are in school. So, 5-year welfare terms for every woman? Or, childcare and back-to-school, basic housing and support to build the needy into taxpayers over a couple of years?
