Government's Welfare Programs

For a long time now, since the accomplished formation of a stable
government, the U.S government has had programs and passed laws that either
dealt with issues of or influence family. Many of these “family” programs and
laws currently in place today are frequently and commonly debated. One of the
most debated and most labored over “family” programs or law is Welfare. The
argument is whether or not to, and how welfare should be cut or minimized.

The debate is simple enough, but the argument on welfare's benefits and
drawbacks is not. On the pro side of the argument, on which I stand, welfare
aids poor families as well as the economy and may help to reduce crime.
Welfare's benefits far out weigh its drawbacks. Welfare generally helps poor
families survive in today's economy by providing a means for them to obtain food
while they search for a job. These families receive foodstamps, to purchase food,
and a small amount of dollars to aid with either rent or utilities. Because of
this income from welfare, crime is reduced. This is because there is now more
income so the poor no longer have the need to go out and commit crimes to
attain that income. Welfare also aids in improving the economy because the
children of these families can afford to go to school and have a chance to make
someone of themselves. Instead of enrolling in welfare themselves, in the future
these people will make contributions to the economy and will be tax paying
citizens.
