Welfare was intended to offer TEMPORARY support for needy families. The problem is that people are becoming dependent on the program. Our Federal Government has an enormous budget deficit. I purpose helping prevent abuse of the assistance program by requiring all applicants to reapply, if accepted they have a maximum of two years of assistance with no extension.Also weekly job searches to help recipients of assistance to get jobs within a reasonable time frame. By reforming the assistance program we will be able to decrease the deficit by putting time sensitive stipulations on the length of assistance.
