Government Aid and Progress by Somebody35 (Edison)
http://www.libraryindex.com/pages/278/Nature-Homelessness.html
I will just make a thing clear: you might find this new blog a little contradictory with the first one but is not. This blog is simple and so is the idea about home shelters and ghettos communities.
Homeless and ghetto communities shouldn’t receive financial aid from the government, at least not if they are planning to live off of it for the rest of their lives. I know the government gives special help to homeless people, I know they can receive food stamps and many other things as (Medicaid) health care and medicine and welfare too. Not that I’m saying that we shouldn’t help people in need but those who we help, should also help themselves by trying to get a job and studying.
There are a lot of people who only live off of government help and they never do anything to progress themselves. They are just there receiving and receiving and never trying to better themselves. Should we justify the place in which they are living or their scarce resources as their reason why they are not successful? No, I have heard much time about Ben Carson ( http://www.achievement.org/autodoc/page/car1bio-1 ), who was raised by his single mother and faced economic difficulties, but this didn’t stop him from success. He tried hard and didn’t allow a single excuse about the place in which he was born. This man was born in poverty but he found success in his studies. And he is NOT the only example.
So if homeless and ghetto communities would like some help from the government, this help shouldn’t be forever.
To wrap this up, I just want to say that veterans, and people with mental and health problems they are the ones who really should deserve help.

Do you know the percentage of welfare recipients that are on welfare all their lives?

I found some more information about welfare, apparently
most recipients are required to find jobs within two years of first receiving welfare payments, but is really hard to know the percentages of how many people remain in welfare all their lives.

In fact the percentage is very low. Currently the average stay on welfare is about 1.8 years. Even during the height of the Reagan Administration and their “welfare queen” rhetoric the average stay was only about 2 years.
