Stop giving "hand outs" and start giving "hand ups".

We would like to see the government work on programs that help people get back on their feet, not hold them down. We can do this by:

1. Invest in COMPLETE health care for those who are in a bad spot. I am talking about ensuring they know what foods to eat (through education on a sustainable eating program), making sure they are mentally taken care of, and of course, getting them back to healthy enough to work.

2. Develop a program to encourage people to take that minimum wage job, knowing their income won't decrease. Offer incentives to those who do work.

3. Give people skills to get higher paying jobs.

4. Put all of these benefits under one umbrella agency so people can go to one place when they need help.

5. Take the advice of those who work in the current agencies.
