I suggest, rather than writing it off as a lousy idea, you volunteer some time to the program before you make any conclusions. AS for the "cheats" that have kids, the problem is simply that the children are the victims, and the "welfare" is for their well-being, not as a reward for the parent. Both parties have wrestled with this program. In NYS, "welfare" for such cases is tied to the recipient parent getting training and at least being partly self supporting. Otherwise, monies are cut and the children can be placed in foster care if they are in danger of mistreatment.
In all due respect, some arguments appear to follow the "my conclusions come first; I'll find facts to back these conclusions later, but for the time being, I'll just claim that my conclusions are true".
Jesus Christ himself warned that the poor will always be with us.

Very true, my volunteer work for Habitat for Humanity was some of the most rewarding work I have ever done, the payment is in the eyes on those who are buying the home, to know that you, not the government, by choice are doing something really positive to help some one start over. On the welfare system, well since the largest group of dependents are single white mothers, the Republican party is part to blame, as tightening up abortion laws created this, mind you, the real blame is on the individuals, but the left has taught us that our own actions aren't our own fault.
