Yes, there should be limits but done wisely. Drug screens and requirements on getting retrained to a job that is within that person's capabilities are good places to start. I have severe arthritis, severe fibromyalgia, an inoperable heart condition, and a kidney issue, but I work 5 days a week doing transcription and probably will for the rest of my life. I got the training when I knew my time in the business world was limited. I kept working instead of expecting the rest of the world care of me.
As to whose responsibility it is to provide those who truly cannot provide for themselves, it should be family, their church, and their community in that order. No, public assistance is not in the Constitution. The choice to do it should be local and shame a on community that allows truly sick and indigent people to die for lack of care. As to the ones too lazy to work if their family wants to support them fine, but not the rest of us.
It's the gimmedats, the lazy, the shiftless, the ones we called bums back in the 1950s who clog the rolls of public assistance and make it a joke. I lived in rural central Arkansas in the 1950s. There was a woman who lived on the east side of town who had 12 kids and two of those were old enough to have children already, too. When asked if she or her daughters planned to stop having children, her reply was, 'oh no, I need MY check!' To this day, her family is a welfare family who have never worked. That is what needs to stop in public assistance.
Yeah, I truly believe this is something we should look into . . . along with a time limit on permanent disabilities, Alzheimer's, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, old age and all the various other problems people run into that keep them from working. Most that go onto SNAP/food stamps use it for a short time till they are able to get back to work again. But, some will need it till they die.
Public Assistance Programs are not in the Constitution and are not the responsibility of government. People must learn to take care of themselves and not expect somebody else to do it.
