That would require a massive outlay of resources and money, because already you can't address in the general or through programs, each individual resolved to sit and collect a govt check. Addressing these individuals (to get them off welfare) has to be more of a one-on-one counseling session. Even then, there's no certainty that would work. Entire generations have been based on collecting welfare. It's like a drug addiction.

So how else might welfare get resolved? Easy. Dismantle it. Take the drug from the addict.

By all accounts, WPA is a great program as it empowers the individual to put themselves back on track. The only problem I see with it is that it is only a voluntary program. It should be mandatory. But I'm sure that will be argued as "unconstitutional."
