My solution to the Welfare Crisis

Welfare is a joke, especially in Massachusetts. It's a perfect example of why I hate the liberal mentality. Liberals think it's everybody's responsibility take care of everybody, including fat lazy slobs who are completely content to keep taking the handouts and have no intention of doing anything to earn an honest buck.

So who pays for this? The rest of us who actually have enough ambition and ethics to work for a living.

So what's the answer? Very simple. You treat welfare as a job. First of all, before anybody gets a check, they need to be screened so that the 1% who actually have a legitimate disability of some sort can be exempt. For the rest, we do the following:

For starters, your welfare check is based on your education level, just like real life. I don't care how many skinny dirtbag kids you have thanks to those conjugal visits you've had with your deadbeat husband. If you have a college education, you get more money than a high school education than a dropout dirtbag. Speaking of whom, since dropout dirtbags won't get much money, the least we can do is offer free GED education classes for them as a motivator to help them better themselves. For those with a high school education (or their brand new shiny GED), a discounted college education at an inexpensive state school or community college will be offered at a discount.

Now, here's the real beauty of this idea. Everybody who is not pursuing an education gets put into a job pool (much like a giant temp agency), and is sub-contracted out to whatever type of places need cheap labor. Right now there is a tremendous amount of cheap labor available to people, but because it's not enough for most people to survive comfortably on, they generally get filled by those who are willing to work mostly for nothing, including a lot of illegal immigrants. To hell with that. Let the welfare people work these jobs. Take whatever you would have payed that person in welfare, and instead pay that to the employer to subsidize his low paying job, in turn allowing him to pay a higher wage (one that's higher than the welfare person would get for sitting on his fat ass watching Rosie preach her liberal garbage all day) to the worker. It's a win-win. We get these fat lazy welfare cases out there actually earning a living for a change, and we feed that welfare money back into local businesses instead of directly to the slobs who don't deserve it. This gets that other 99% into the workforce and on their way to earning a legit living, and maybe even having the skills and opportunities to move on to higher paying non subsidized jobs in the future.

Now I just need to get a politician to agree with me.
