Welfare Abuse and the American Dream
The American dream is a dream to pursue freedom, happiness, and success, to be prosperous and provide, to have opportunity and achievement, all regardless of which social class you are perceived in. There is a great deal of funding going into many government programs, such as welfare. The welfare program is a program that was created to help aid those in need of assistance. Numerous people need help to achieve their American dream. Instead of working toward their dream a number of people abandon the dream, a dream in which they may have longed since childhood. The largely abused funding of welfare inhibits the American dream and should be altered to better meet the desires of those who are truly in need.
The system of welfare was created to help those who are not cable of supporting themselves. The definition of welfare is “organized public or private social services for the assistance of disadvantaged groups” (Social Welfare). In other words welfare is system to assist those who cannot provide on their own. The welfare system was established in 1935 by the social security act (Social Welfare). This welfare system is administered by the state in which you live in so some qualifications may vary. This program is there to help those who are struck with poverty, children and adults. This program helped many families during the great depression and continues to do so today (Social Welfare).
The welfare program is often criticized; it was very effective but tends to be over abused today. This abuse causes a great deal of excess unnecessary spending, which inhibits the American dream. The welfare program does consist of multiple flaws that need reparation. The program is impairing the American dream by wasting thousands of dollars on redundant spending. The United States spends billions of dollars to help support those in need. There is an average estimated spending log of 679.2 billion dollars for the year two thousand and twelve between the state, federal and local governments (Government Spending Details). This obscene amount of money is to support those who are in need which is frequently abused by those who are fraudulent. In San Diego county 24% of welfare applications contain some form of fraud. In the same county it is estimated that one in four applications contain fraud in order to retain benefits (Fact Check: The Frequency of Welfare Fraud). Welfare is among some of the top amounts of money, running along with education and health care, assumed to be spent in two thousand and twelve year.
America is now increasing in debt, along with the need for public assistance. Many people have a social problem some even panic in the workplace. There are many programs to help get over this fear and introduce you to a friendly work environment. There are also many treatments to help you cure the disorder (Answers to your questions about panic disorder). Panic disorder is treatable and preventable so you cannot claim it as an excuse to not get a job. There are many jobs with good environments along with those with bad, although there are multiple ways to find the right job. With a little job research everyone can be on the path to finding a job that’s right for them, even those with a social problem. Some may say there is nowhere to be hired well, studies show that the unemployment rate has dropped to 8.3 percent (Employment Situation Summary). Employment was very widespread in many divisions with large gains; employment has been changing for the good a little at a time. Many say that they can’t find stable jobs; well the need for long term employees has increased also leaving little room for excuse (Employment Situation Summary).
Welfare programs have been working to get some recipients to work. Reforms such as the WTW (welfare to work) program are among those in the works. The WTW reform is to assist those to obtain or gain knowledge to prepare for employment (Welfare-to-Work). Some of those receiving benefits find excuses not to work such as child care, ways of transportation and lack of training. Well there is a solution to that by having additional assistance with these things. The program is a good way to get more Americans working. Yes we do need more Americans working, but the welfare reform has now offered more benefits spending more money and defeating the purpose of the reform. The reforms ought to find better ways of assisting which reduce the amount of money going out and increasing the money coming in.
The United States has many problems, including the poor. When you walk down the streets you sometimes see homeless people or poor people. Many people try so hard to support themselves but they just cannot. There are people who get denied from welfare benefits, these could be the ones you see sitting on the road side or in an alley way. The people who need benefits are largely affected by those who abuse. While we are not supporting our own we are supporting refugees and illegal immigrants. We should consider helping our own before we help those of others who come here illegally. More than 50% of these refugees claim their medical service was through Medicaid (Use of Welfare by Immigrants). 20% of refugee families have at least one family member whom receives social security (Use of Welfare by Immigrants). These refugees are being supported by Americans when America has their own poor to tender to. Some of the tax from Americans paychecks go to support those who are not our own.
Some of the poor are far from unnourished although they claim otherwise, many are living just fine. Many people depend on welfare as a source of income instead of looking for a job. Numerous people struggle to try to support their family and truly do need assistance; these are the families that get denied for help. Texas women and her two children were struggling in a rundown trailer park. This family was denied assistance when she did not submit enough information. After a seven hour confrontation the women shot her two kids and then herself causing devastation (After Being Denied Food Stamps). Those people struggle to get food on the table while others are getting more than they need on state assistance. This goes to show that as many more obstacles are produced the harder it is for the needy to receive assistance (After Being Denied Food Stamps). Welfare fraud is very common, if the states would create a better filter then it would eliminate difficulty by confusion and help keep the needy be less needy. Some people have unclaimed income and still collect, for example “On March 1 claiming no income and no employment. Two months later a Nevada Employment Security cross match showed that the individual had become employed on February 15. An investigation confirmed that the individual was employed when he applied for benefits” this happens more often than less (Welfare Fraud in the State of Nevada). Many people write down false statements when filing for welfare leading them to receive more money than necessary. Some people claim children that may not even live with them. These false statements have cause large amounts of money to be given to those who do not actually qualify. In 2007 a Ventura county women collected over 1,500 in cash and food stamps when she was not legally eligible. The state of California reported women in Los Angeles County who claimed her income was fewer than 24,000 dollars. That same women drove a seventy six thousand dollar luxury car and had over 100,000 cash stashed in her dresser (Welfare Fraud Stories). Large amounts of money per year are lost to welfare fraud in all aspects. This fraudulent people are usually are living just fine when there are many more who struggle to keep a home and food in their Childs belly’s day to day. Fraudulent people are the ones who hurt the system and gain it criticism.
The American dream is something every individual has. As said in the introduction The American dream is a dream to pursue freedom, happiness, and success, to be prosperous and provide, to have opportunity and achievement, all regardless of which social class you are perceived in. This dream is hurt by the welfare programs. The programs are very easily abused, causing lots of unnecessary spending. The welfare programs funds come in part from our paychecks. This tax could be reduced along with the abuse. Welfare reforms often cause more ways to increase the welfare cost rather than decrease it. The use of welfare is growing not coming to an end which it was meant to be when it was created.
The United States has many programs for support for those in need. Among the many programs of support systems welfare is one which is largely abused. The American dream is something every individual is entitled to, which is to pursue freedom happiness and support yourself and your family. The welfare program impairs the American dream because it is over abused; however, the program is very beneficial to those whom need it.
