What are we becoming as a nation? Record numbers are on food stamps and other forms of welfare...?

and no longer is there incentive to get off welfare. Most of those receiving payments from the earnings of others have no feelings of gratitude, or shame...only a sense of "entitlement."

    Your claims are false. Most of those who benefit from welfare programs are CHILDREN. Most of the adults are WORKING but need assistance to support their families. Most benefits are time limited.

    Where I live many people have been unemployed for years, and not by choice….
