How do we get people to want to leave the welfare program?

[723]

First off... do you want to focus on all programs, for even people who work?

do you want to take away food stamps for a military family? does that create dependence? I don't personally think so, I think that's a helping hand while they aren't making much... but that's a key issue here as you list 38 programs seeming to paint them all with the same brush?

I think the main problem is in TANF...which is what cons are generally talking about when they say "welfare queens" and such...

and the problems in TANF are generally greatly exaggerated...

I think the VAST, VAST majority want to leave or are elderly and will never leave nor can they (particularly out of all those 38 programs) ...

but a VERY small minority of the people on ACTUAL "WELFARE" (TANF) stay on there for the 60 month limit... it's like 2 percent ... out of about a total of million adults on TANF...

now... you may say that 2 percent of one million is still too much... which OK, yeah, I can see that... but it's not some huge problem overall... like .001 percent of the population...
