Our country has a need to take care of its people. We as a nation strive to do well. To do well as a nation, there must be policies in place to help those who need it. There are many programs available to people who need it. Many of these programs are paid for by our taxes and through social security (we are paying it forward so to say). There are many poisitives to the different social programs available. There are a lot of regulations to quilify for these programs to ensure that people who need them get them and that they are not up for grabs by anyone. As with everythin there are loopholes and some programs leave room for improvment. I feel that there are many people right on the cusp that could really benefit for government assistance to get them one step closer to not living paycheck to paycheck, but because of the strict qualifications, they are left with no assistance and to fend for themselves. Yet there are people who are very comfortable living on government programs and have found ways to make it a lifestyle. With every thing in life there are people who try to do better and use what is available as a stepping stone and those who are more than ok to do nothing about their situation and have everyone else take care of them. We as a nation look to help everyone and especially those who want it. I dont know about you, but I can't turn my back on someone needing help especially if it is because they need it to better themselves. We all need a little help sometime!
"I am concerned about the whole man. I am converned about what the people using their government as as instrument and a tool, can do toward building the whole man, which will mean a better sociaty and a better world."
Lyndon B. Johnson~36th President (1963-1969)
