WHY WELFARE TO THE ABLE?

Recommended Posts

Maybe someone can explain something that has had me puzzled for years.  

During the 1930's depression to assist the able bodied to feed their families, the WPA & TVA were created to give them jobs to Earn money, and keep their dignity.  So my question is, now why do we give able people welfare, food stamps, WIC, and other assistance for doing nothing?   Why aren't the able bodied required to work and earn the money?   You could fill this Forum with the accomplishments of the WPA & TVA.  Why do we waste money on those who can, but don't have to (want to).  There's so many things they could do to improve our country, plus I'd hope regain some pride and self respect

How many people have full time jobs and still need welfare? A lot.

I'm referring to jobs with decent pay.  The WPA & TVA built dams and many big beautiful buildings still in use today.  I'll just throw out numbers here for an example.  Why give an able person, say $1500 a month of welfare when you could put that person to work for $4000 a month, building needed projects, plus the added benefit of learning a trade and building self esteem.  It wouldn't cover everyone.  There are some that couldn't do it for physical or mental reasons.  But most could.  

And despite what the DNC says, I don't know one single Republican who would want to take welfare from those that need it.
