Ok, so now exxon is killing people... Hit squads you know....
I don't want to load up the jails with anymore welfare reciepiants than we already have, so just end the program completely.
Here is my plan.
You live where we tell you to live. There is plenty of housing already built for welfare households. (Especially when I'm done with the program.)
You work 60 hours a week. Daycare is provided on site.
You do not get to own a car.
You do not get money that you control untill your OFF of the program. (It's called a savings account, and it's what your working for.)
You do not cook your own meals. Eating is done cafeteria style in the welfare housing. (Yes, if you do not live in a town where they have this, you get to move to a city that does.)
Here is your labor. Building roads, building parks. Building anything the government needs to have done. You get an opportunity to learn a new skill. How to use a pick and shovel, rake and hoe.
Want to learn more skills? You have the military option. You join, test out, and just like anyone else, get assigned to your post and position. You have as much chance of making something of yourself as anyone else. (It's a pretty good chance actually, but it takes work, so get used to it.)
Ok, so how do you get out of welfare?
You save up money from your job. The cost of housing you, feeding you, and caring for your kids is deducted from your wages first, then the rest is put into your savings account tax free to earn you compound intrest like the rest of the world. If you do not work, you never get out, and in my system, your placed in tents if we have them, and cardboard boxes if we don't. (IE: GET OFF YOUR LAZY ASS AND GET TO WORK.)
The cost of child car is per child, so the idea you can just have lots of kids and make more money is gone.
The jobs you work at have opportunities for advancement, and better pay, just like the real world. At some point, your going to exit the welfare system and venture out on your own, just like you should, and become another produtive part of society.
If your a child, and you don't go to school, you get to go to work, or live in a tent/box whatever. There is no drop out, hang out system in my plan.
Would this work? Sure. Is it fair? Absolutely. It's better because it's going to teach those that have forgotten how to work and be happy with what they acomplish to see how awesome that is again. Those that make it out, are an inspiration to those still there working to get out.
I would come up with something similar to this for the reservations, but it would require moving people around, and it would not be popular at all, but it would be effective in motivating people to become productive again.
