Thats what I was talking about. Im sorry it isnt convenient enough for you.
Yes, all sorts of people get all sorts of checks from the government. The argument has been that welfare people get a check for doing nothing.
Disabled people get a check for being disabled. They may not have paid a dime into the system, and they get one for life. No different.
People on SS, may have worked, may be drawing off their own benefits or off death benefits.
Medicare... government check. How long before what they paid in is spent and now they are drawing off the "dole" the same as welfare?

There's the VA system, SSDI, whether or not there are dependents under 18, and each has it's own different set of hoops to jump through. There are people who get welfare, and will be expected to pay it all back.
We arent speaking of servicemen or women. They have more than earned what they get, and, frankly, deserve more.
However, being poor isnt any reason to be treated as a second class citizen. Welfare recipients have their own set of hoops just like all the other programs.
The truth is, the assumption was made that people on welfare have a greater potential for being on drugs than the general population. Something that has yet to be proven, something that was disproven in Florida.
