They will! I teach GED classes and some of these people get paid extra to come to class to earn a GED. Different programs out there some pay an hourly rate(better than minimum wage), some get a clothing allowance, and transportation money(gas, repairs, car). Most in the latter two programs will come long enough to get the allowance(12 hours class time) and then never return.

Re: Question about Welfare

I think welfare is a great idea to help people out, I just have a problem with those that abuse it.<br /><br />I thought welfare reform tried to end the abuse and I am trying to figure out if it really did end the abuse.<br /><br />Ken

Ken I think its 5 years then their cut off. <br /><br />But there is always loop holes in the system and someone that does not want to work will figure out how to get money from the Guv-ment.

Re: Question about Welfare

not sure...doesn't a parent caring for a child get exception from welfare-to-work program? Also if you're working & still meet the low income criteria you can keep getting food stamps.<br /><br />byrdog I would have bet a sixpack you had to have work record to draw disability, but I believe ya. They have a way higher standard for "disabled" than private insurers...I think what that means is that honest citizens truly disabled get declined while fraudsters who can work the system, do.

Re: Question about Welfare

Booner, Yes, I do, how about start drawing retirement like the rest of the world, like at 62 or later.<br /><br />Deputy, You and many others suffer the tremendous high cost of medical insurance. Where does this come from? Go see who buys the new Mercedes Benz, lives in the 5000+ sq.ft. houses, belongs to the most expensive clubs, and enjoys the fabulous vacations. Yep MD follows many of their names.<br /><br />Yes they do spent many years in school but most of the cost is bore by you and I. They are also paid while interning and residency.<br /><br />Hard job yes, harder than others probably not a lot. Hold your lives in hands but when you die not their fault even in elective surgery. (See Tx. Medical Cap and Reform).<br /><br />Medicine is headed toward socialization, only because of excessive greed and this includes drug companies.
