Ms. Devilma says that many of the welfare recipients she knows are reluctant to seek work or an education. Life in the system is comfortable enough that people can easily live off of welfare. Ms. Devilma admits that if it were not for her son and the recent expiry of her cash aid, she would rather live on welfare than take an entry-level job at McDonald’s. She considers it unsuited for her level of education. Some worry that welfare is encouraging idleness. Paul Ryan, the Republicans’ congressional budget guru, frets that America’s safety net could become “a hammock that lulls able-bodied people into lives of dependency and complacency”
I have to agree with Paul Ryan, right here is the biggest problem we have in America. The welfare programs are giving so much money to people that they can live off of it. This is not the point of welfare programs. They are suppose to HELP people who struggle to come up with money to pay for necessities. These programs weren't created for people to sit around, do nothing, and collect money from the government. Some hard working Americans have salaries that pay them about $30,000 a year and if people on welfare are collecting almost as much as working people, this has to come to an end. To sum it all up, welfare is discouraging work and people are becoming lazier with no ambition to work.
