I agree that there are specific situations that would IMO warrant temporary help. I worked in Cook County (Chicago) doing child welfare for over a decade and I worked closely with this population (unemployed, uneducated, multiple children, welfare families) and based on what i observed over the course of almost 13 yrs doing that kind of work, there are not NEARLY enough parameters in place to curb abuse of the system. Our government sucks at pretty much everything it does, and this is only one example. It's like we're just throwing money away year after year to people who don't deserve the help. Sooo frustrating. Our resources arent allocated very wisely from what I can see.
