Should welfare be limited to only people with disabilities? |
yes
for people with dissabilities and people that need TEMPORARY assistance only..the rest that "need" welfare for 5 years or some use it for their entire lives..GET A JOB LIKE THE REST OF US! its not fair for the ones that actually contribute to society. I know people that do bad things just to stay on welfare such as NOT GETTING A JOB ON PURPOSE (they dont care if they are poor, they dont have to work and they get housing assitance, food stamps and some extra money to takr care of their many kids)

No But It Should Be For Staying On Welfare
If you don't have a disability you should have to join a welfare-to-work program to get yourself back on your feet. Sometimes people do need this temporary assistance but that's exactly what it should be is temporary.
Posted by: MasturDbtorI do not think welfare should be limited to people with disabilities because it should be available to those in need.
Many people depend on welfare, and it would cruel to cut them off unreasonably. Making a disability a requirement of getting welfare could lead to many people and doctors concocting fake disabilities in order to scam the system. Our country already has a surplus of suspect disabilities without adding an incentive to create even more.
Posted by: SuddenRashad84Welfare is needed by both the disabled and others, not just one or the other.
Welfare is needed by those who have been subject to horrendous circumstances and ill fate, not just those who are disabled. Yes, the disabled need help to overcome their challenges and deserve welfare. But, others who may not immediately seem at a disadvantage in society may be actually quite persecuted or effectively restricted from pursuing their goals and obtaining work.
Posted by: IllustriousVince27Welfare exists to help the poor, so limiting it to those with disabilities would defeat the purpose.
People are poor for many reasons. But, welfare helps those people to survive. Those with disabilities often need help, too, but not for the same reasons. We should always seek to help those less fortunate, and that includes the poor. Welfare should help everyone who needs that help, regardless of disability.
