Welfare and unemployment are for people who are down and out - but are expected to get back up one day. And you go on unemployment to help assist you while trying to find another job. How can you expect to find a job if you are on drugs? I see this abuse specifically in my life. I have a cousin with 3 little girls - she receives welfare, social securtiy and now her husband is drawing unemployment. But each month, when the checks come, they have spent the money in less than a week on drugs - while those little girls have no food. There is no check on this like their should be - that money should be to help get her on feet and feed her children, but instead she buys alcohol and painkillers while the children go hungry. Absolutely disgusting.
