On the recordFebruary 8, 1994
I am talking about the welfare system in the United States today. We have allowed a program designed to assist those in need to become a monster that too often turns into a long-term addiction. Instead of helping families stay together through tough times, the welfare system encourages families to split apart. Instead of encouraging single parents to work to find jobs skills, the American welfare system penalizes those who wish to work, and discourages work from any parent who wishes to keep health insurance while taking even an entry level job. Reform is not enough; we need to completely overhaul the welfare system.
