A heavily debatable topic in US government over the years has been the topic of Welfare. Welfare came about as a response to the amount of families and individuals in need of aid during the 1930’s during The Great Depression. However, over the years US citizens have been accused of taking advantage of the welfare system. I understand that welfare was put in place to help people in need but I believe that you have to draw the line somewhere. I’m a firm believer that everyone should work to earn money and make a living. Some US citizens have become lazy and rely on government “cheese” to get by. People abuse the welfare system by having more children to get more aid, staying unmarried to qualify for better benefits, or simply just not applying for jobs because they know the welfare system will take care of them. People will literally just sit at home and do nothing but collect that government check when it comes in. I believe that this is unethical and that Americans should take responsibility for themselves and their families.
