Why do keep asking such pathetic questions? Why don't you get a life or a hobby instead of looking for people you can criticize what is wrong with your life you got to try and look for things that are wrong with people? You need the help what would you have to talk about if there was no welfare?? I feel sorry for your brother because hes related to you I could see why he needs the help!

Simple: Most people can't afford to anymore. Also, it doesn't help that most people are stupid and waste all their money on stupid stuff and then spend the rest of their lives trying to get out of debt.

Maybe because they have all the money.  The skinny ones spend theirs on crack.

I work in welfare. 1/4 of the people honestly are in need, maybe they lost their job or they are a housewife whose husband left them with 4 kids and no job skills- they just need temporary help to get back on their feet. OR maybe they are working a minimum wage job and just cannot make ends meet- but those are few and far between<-- please believe. Another 2/4 are either elderly or disabled and cannot work. The last 1/4 ARE lazy bums that strive to have 10 kids just to increase their food stamp amount. (The lucky ones end up with over $2,000/month in child support so they don't have to work- chose your "lays" wisely, ladies). Then there are the single men who have 4 kids and won't work cause they don't want to pay child support (but who can blame them when child support takes more than half their checks when they do work). There are all kinds- not all fit neatly into a stereotype.

No i don't. I am a single mother, i can't even move out of my parents house because everything cost so much. I could get 2 jobs but then the cost of babysitters would spend all my money and then i wouldn't have time for my child.\n\nGovernment doesn't want to help anyone unless you need all there help. They won't just give you a little boost. \n\nIts hard to find a good job with decent pay. i feel bad for the children growing up in todays world that all.

People who have very little often do not get enough nourishment, have health problems that don't get treated due to lack of money. They can't afford to travel and go to school so they tend to have less education.\n\nSome people who come by money are affected by the power of money. They learn they can do things they could not before. They sometimes get careless with their morals or take risks and get into trouble that might not have happened before.\n\nThen there are others who are so grateful for their new found fortune they work hard at finding ways to make their money count for the good of others. They start foundations that pay tuition for students to go to higher education. They begin or fund charities. They donate to expand hospitals.\n\nSo, there are two sides of the coin and the deciding factor is the character of the individual....

Haha no they don't, and even if you showed them proof they wouldnt believe it.  They would just blame the person and say it's their fault for being born poor, not working hard enough, whatever.\n\nEdit- Some of the answers on here are unbelievable.  "Educate yourself"  "We are as strong as men and can get a great job if need be"  Educate yourself?  Have any of these people been to the hood lately?  Or to a rural school?  Kids from there don't get coaching to take the SATs, their test scores arent as high as the kids of these parents on here...if they go to a college where SATs arent accepted then they are bringing down the quality of education...plus if you take out a loan you have to pay it back for the rest of your life at mafia interest rates...hard to deal with when the price of gas is what it is and everything going up but our salaries...People on here dont' seem to realize that the cost of welfare is MINIMAL compared to what we are paying for our MILITARY.  I wish people would WAKE UP.  If we cut that budget in half we would have money for schools to make them better, smaller classrooms, better teachers...safer playgrounds and neighborhoods...maybe we could take care of the ignorance and we wont have some baby's mamas with three kids by the time they are 21...let some of the SNOBS walk in their shoes for awhile, with little opportunity to get out of the cycle they are in...no, they would just rather complain and *****about people who dont' know any better anyway.  JERKS!!!

Trying to teach them you can't spend more money then you have. Even though the average family is in Debt therefor spending more then they make.

If they're stable and able to support a child and provide a good environment, why not?  How could living with two people who love each other and want to love a child be worse than being farmed out to a foster family just looking for the monthly check?

People have it way worse then you. You're rich compared to people in poorer countries. Think of them starving, next time you think it's the end of the world when you can't buy the newest camera phone. Money isn't everything.

There are so many people who should receive money (or help) \nand don't: people in charge of sick family members or spouses, people in charge of children with special needs or disabilities, people in charge of their elder, even mother with young children. I agree with you that families who have to take care of ill children should receive help or money, and maybe be put ahead of those with kids who have learning disabilities (as illness requires more extensive and expensive care), but I wouldn't take any helps already received away... It seems so hard to get any!

The people that need it the most get more. They can't be expected to pay as much as everyone else when they don't make as much. And even though they might get more money, they're still struggling equally as hard to compensate for the lack of income that they already have. See if you can get a loan from a bank if you really need more money or pick up a job. Don't worry about how much money everyone else gets, just concentrate on getting your work done and finishing school.

It is true that people should always be careful and consider their circumstances before they decide to have kids. Nowadays it's not like how it was back in the olden days. Now the world is over-populated and heading down the drain, it's getting more and more expensive and difficult to raise kids. Back then kids were a blessing sent by God, the children helped out on the farm and did the work for the parents. Nowadays children are still a blessing sent by God but one should really ask themselves if its a blessing that they really want to have and can afford to raise.

Because they love their child. And they want to give it better future and life better than they lived. Thats it. You will also do same with your child.

Can't speak for all but I see many who continue to have children when they can not afford to feed what they have. Excuses for not getting out there and making a honest living. I believe, and have seen people with nothing rise above. You have to have the will. Put your mind to it and you can do just about anything. Poverty does not always have to be a choice.
