    The electronic reserve reading that I read was the one about the judge stalling Michigan's drug testing program for welfare applicants. I agree the decision on making people that are applying for welfare take and pass a drug test. The reason why I agree with this decision is because a lot of people that are receiving welfare benefits stop trying to do better once they start getting the benefits. I feel like they get comfortable and start only depending on welfare. A lot of these people probably are doing some kind of drug and cannot pass a drug test so they do not even try to go out and search for a job. I look around and most of the people that…

    Welfare is nothing new to the citizens of this country. It is a concept that arose over a century ago. Welfare was made famous by Bill Clinton, in 1996, and it has brought up much controversy. Arguments suggest the welfare system is highly abused by its members while others believe it is the answer to the nation’s poverty. Although the welfare system is state regulated, many people believe it is taken advantage of by underserving people. Often, people with nasty habits, sale their food stamp cards for extra cash, cigarettes, and drugs. Most of the time, these people have children that have to go without because their parent puts their government assistance towards unhealthy addictions.…

    Does Welfare Feel Ashamed

    • 309 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Welfare was created in 1935 to provide for the families in need of food, clothing, and shelter, but today it has become a large, controversial topic. Some people argue that it is ridiculous that some people can’t take care of themselves and must rely on everyone else’s money to support them. Those people cause those on welfare to become ashamed of themselves. I believe people on welfare should not feel ashamed because some do hold a job if not multiple, but still cannot provide for themselves and others have certain disabilities that restrict them from getting a job and supporting themselves.…

    Family services, adult services, and adult and family services are the different names to which each state calls families who are in need. Since the 1930s, and the great depression families have needed assistance with many forms of need. Most had little or no income, this creating the welfare assistance program, which was federally government, ran until the mid-1990s. Jobs come and go, and families could go from middle or high class to the bottom of the bottom low class in the blink of an eye. This happens all the time, small towns who are lucky to have some type of factory or large business that gives employment to these people could walk away from the business or sell to a larger business who in turn takes the business into the big city. Doing this causes these small town workers to lose their jobs and could cause them to lose their homes and even their families. Welfare is an important part of assistance, when abused by having more children to get more welfare, or staying single to get more welfare are ways people abuse the system. We ask the question; should welfare recipients be drug tested? We want to learn the pros and cons of this question and overall shine some light on the topic.…
