Eating Welfare Options

[Tung]

After watching a documentation on welfare and the on going problems all over the U.S, I think it's debatable if having welfare a good thing or a bad thing. The general assumption towards people with welfare are that they are lazy, and just stay at home and "eat" the welfare money given to them.

That's not entirely true, and that most of these people who live on welfare, works other low-paying wage jobs just to have enough to eat. They work long hours, just to support their family. Most people on welfare don't speak english at all, and it's very hard for them to find a good paying job. Also, most of this people, are immigrants who have no skill whatsoever.

The question I raise is, should welfare be something giving this people for a long term, or should there be some kind of maybe 5 year deal, so that they get the five years to finally get a good paying job, so they won't need welfare anymore. I'm against having a X-amount of years where you should only get welfare.

You have to look at where these people are coming from. I mean, there's people who've been on welfare for 20 years now, and we complain about that. Such as "it's been 20 years!, how can you not have a job that pays decent, without having welfare, while I'm working my butt off here, and I get my paycheck cut off from the Welfare Department just to support lazy people like you" What is your stance on this? Should welfare be something that have an x-amount of years given to someone, or should there be no limit as to how long you get welfare?

What are "good-paying" jobs for people supported by the welfare program designed for low-income families? They are normally low-income families because they don't have a good job or none due to their lack of certain education unless they are disable.

That's not entirely true, and that most of these people who live on welfare, works other low-paying wage jobs just to have enough to eat. They work long hours, just to support their family. Most people on welfare don't speak english at all, and it's very hard for them to find a good paying job. Also, most of this people, are immigrants who have no skill whatsoever.

What are your sources for that? You just answered your own problem? The real problem is the lack of education prevents them from rising themselves to a higher social class. How do you expect them to get a great job like that? America is narrowed-mind. We're not all that great or ... that diverse. However, we're starting to be more tolerance since we're seeing more Asians presenting in the entertainment industry. Okay.

The question I raise is, should welfare be something giving this people for a long term, or should there be some kind of maybe 5 year deal, so that they get the five years to finally get a good paying job, so they won't need welfare anymore. I'm against having a X-amount of years where you should only get welfare. .

Within five years, are the minority able to get a decent paying job? If you're from Middle East, you're being stereotyped as "terrorist" in America. What are the success rates to reach their goal of becoming an effective financial independent? Not much.

Again, how do you expect normal people to get a high paying jobs when they don't meet the criteria like ... college, proper English, certain programs, values, experiences, and etc?

Does it really takes 5 years to get obtain a good-paying jobs? Other than that, the world of business wants the best of the best people. What are the perspectives coming from Americans when they look at foreigner's resume when recruiting newly employment in their industry? It's not great, actually.

Ever watched, "The Pursuit of Happiness" by Will Smith? Look at his condition without any government care. Great life, eh?

x amount of years does not mean the chances of getting better paid jobs, it is qualifications. In order to appeals others. It's usually important to have the right education to get into certain job industry. BUT, what if THEY DONT HAVE THE MONEY to get an education, then it's the real problem. That's why they are in the wellfare program
