In response to "What is welfare for? My opinion is so that people aren't homeless without food. I am open to listening to other opinions." by Bacon

Ok but then in an ideal system, recipients can never access cash, because cash can't be tracked?

That just seems so nuts to me.

What do you say to the kids that have nothing to eat because Mom uses the cash for drugs? - Bacon Feb 7, 15:56 8
- this is the main reason for school lunch and breakfast programs, another thing the teabaggers want to cut back if not out -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 7, 17:08
- Why is a Slurpee no big deal but a face full of boob is? -- nm - con_carne Feb 7, 16:18 1
  - They both are for me. It's all waste -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 16:19
- You say "your mom sucks". To your point, we probably can't afford to legislate that every kids deserves awesome parents. -- nm - TFox Feb 7, 15:59
- do you think stopping someone from getting cash is going to stop them from getting drugs? - Reagen Feb 7, 15:58 3
  - I agree with that. We can make it harder than just going to the ATM. - Bacon Feb 7, 16:02 2
    - Why don't we shut down the drugs industry entirely by getting rid of ATMs and cash? -- nm - Roger More Feb 7, 16:05 1
      - Or make ATMs dispense drugs to put the dealers out of business -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 16:06
Well, that *would be ideal. - Dr.Vermin Feb 7, 15:54
