I agree, Spoon. I don't think it should be given to everybody who wants it. I think it's designed in a perfect world where everybody feels like they should get a job. The problem is making that distinction.
Sure you could only offer welfare for single parents, but then a lot of people that are really trying to get a job but, in the meantime, still have to make ends meet at home. That kind of stuff occurs in all family types, two-parent, single-parent, if it's just a single person.
I don't think people should be carried their whole lives. I'm sure no politician believes that, especially in the current times when all you hear about is fiscal responsibility, not only with the big lending agencies, but back at home. It seems like it's just blown out of proportion.
