Though not the case for everyone on welfare, many people have children and remain unemployed simply to live off the government’s generosity, however small the handout may be. In such cases, the children are unloved and unwanted, living conditions are deplorable, and most of the welfare check received is used for drugs. To combat this unethical and dishonest behavior, the government should provide basic essential services (e.g., housing, food, utilities, etc.) instead of money. In return for these services, the person receiving welfare would be required to perform work for the government such as working at a food distribution center, homeless shelter, or other such related entity. Also, the welfare receiver would be assigned a case worker who will help in search for employment. After a predetermined period, the welfare receiver will be required to have employment, or he/she will be ineligible to receive welfare assistance.
