The Pros And Cons Of The Welfare System

There are on average 52,404 deaths in the US each year. This should be eye awakening, but yet the government doesn’t care. Required drug screenings would help lower the use of drugs. Senator David Vitter argues, “Requiring screenings would give addicts a key incentive to seek help so that they can once again be healthy, support their own families, and make positive contributions to our society”(Welfare drug testing 2). If people are truly concerned about getting the help they need, welfare, than they need to be serious enough to get help from drugs.

In the year 2014, “48.1 million Americans lived in food insecure households, including 32.8 million adults and 15.3 million children” (FeedingAmerica.org). Welfare is in existence to prevent these statistics from occurring. It is to provide homes and nutrition to those whom cannot receive said necessities without government support. However, several Americans take advantage of this system, leading welfare to appear as a mockery to the onlookers. If welfare is removed from the American country, then this statistic would grow catastrophically year by year.

Close to $1,000,000,000 is used on drugs and alcohol, out of the $1,000,000,000,000,000 we spend on welfare. Since 2008 the welfare system has increased an extreme amount, we need to decrease this with one solution. Background check and drug testing are a necessary part of the welfare system due to using the taxpayers money. We need to reinforce our welfare system,inform people where their money is going, ensure that the taxpayers money is not being used on drugs and alcohol, and make sure we are not providing criminals or drug users with money; however we need to limit the spending by background checking. The American welfare system is broken and unconstitutional and we need to make it great

Vaccination of 20% of children would reduce the total number of influenza cases in the US by 46%; 80% coverage would reduce the total number of cases by 91%. Similar reductions were estimated to occur in influenza-related mortality and economic costs. Why Some Parents Are Against It A number of parents fear the government forcing them to vaccinate their children. These parents are anti-vaccine for a variety of reasons.

Gary Johnson being a third party candidate is a mixture of the republican and democratic beliefs. Johnson believes Trumps view about the wall is obscured, in his book on page 127 he states “A 10-foot wall just requires an 11-foot ladder." (Johnson, 2012). Pretty much meaning a wall is not going to change anything, the illegals will figure out a way to get over it. Johnson also believes we should do the illegal and unimaginable, that the fifty five million illegal Americans in the country right now should be able to easily get a work visa and start paying taxes and living as a citizen but not making them a citizen.

Lawmakers and the public alike state that drug testing might be beneficial to prevent tax money from being funneled into illegal activity it does not guarantee that these people will not spend their money on other legal recreational activities and substances. Finally, lawmakers have yet to determine what the restriction and punishments should be for those who can not or have not passed their drug tests. The degree of punishment that would be indicative of a possible rehabilitation of the individual without also punishing the children of that home (Pollack,2006). Each of these reasons is a primary cause of the controversy that have prevented most states from enforcing drug testing before receiving benefits. However, states such as Florida and Georgia have recently passed their own drug testing program for their welfare recipients, with the hope that the benefits of these tests will outweigh the consequences (McCarty,2012).

Lowering the drinking age sounds like a good plan, but even proponents of this idea are wary about the safety of the nation if this happens. “Choose Responsibility,” is a non-profit organization discussing the presence of alcohol in America. Director, Dr. John McCardell Jr suggests that to have young adults ready for the responsibility of alcohol consumption, they should first be educated. He promotes a class like driver 's education, which must be passed to drink. Upon passing, a tiered drinking license would be awarded (Choose).

What’s in a name? This is one question the founder of the Honest company may have invested a lot of thought over. To name a brand “Honest” may have been a great marketing coup for a company that sells non-toxic and eco-friendly products to parents, but The Honest Company is creating some extra concern now that things are going wrong. Jessica Alba’s company is supposed to produce eco-friendly and hypoallergenic goods that are intended to give parents peace of mind. Instead she is getting the piece of minds of customers.

Some of these reasons are that a ban could influence an opposite effect on the children, junk food is not the only food contributing to the obesity, and finally the only way to truly reach these children is through their homes. Obesity won’t change by looking at schools, keep the junk food as an option at all times to keep

However, not everybody agrees with this point of view. Animals and plants are living creature like humans and people should protect them no matter what. If animals and plants are endangered people should spend money to help them, after all they are useful to us and people should have conscience that blame them if they let these species die without even try to help them. Government should stimulate the people to protect endangered

I agree with the statement that Bernie makes that everyone should have health care regardless to their wealth or income. He believes that medicare should be recognized as a right not as a privilege. Bernie is right because some families cannot afford the medicare and they stop taking prescription drugs because it 's way to expensive plus some people apply for medicare but they still have to pay for prescription drugs. I believe that for everyone prescription drugs should be free because for most of the people this is the main reason why they stop taking prescription drugs. If in future, the medicare is free for everyone then the death rate will also decrease and people won 't have to survive through pain and worry about paying medical bills

However, the receivers of several different government handouts, such as farmers, college students, and wealthy home-owner, do not realize they are getting their benefits because we are given them in ways that allow us to tell ourselves that we get nothing. “Political scientist Suzanne Mettler has called this effect the “submerged state” (Badger). Whereas Schaberg provides ample evidence that drug testing welfare recipients is unconstitutional, it is actually Badger’s research on the double standard which convinces me that if those on welfare are drug tested, everyone else receiving benefits from the government should be as

Welfare America, home of the brave, the free, and the blessed! In this country many programs have been established to help those in need. One of these programs is welfare. Welfare is a public assisting aid, which gives citizens who live in the minimal level of poverty free money. This program is funded from the taxes payed by all working Americans.
