Slight Modifications to Make Big Changes

On Friday, April 3, 2015, Stacy Ybarra wrote an article on Let Freedom Ring.. or Type called, “Slight Modifications to Make Big Changes.” Stacy’s article describes how Government funded assistance programs are beneficial to those who are in need, but these programs need to be more controlled and restricted. Stacy explains how assistance programs were put in place to temporarily support the hardships of families and not a long-term fix. I totally agree with Stacey when it comes to people abusing the government system. I have observed people who live off of these assistance programs and choose to not work or go to school and just choose to be lazy. Sorry if I offend anyone, but I think that’s pathetic. Not saying that everyone using assistance programs are guilty of abusing the system, but I’m not naive to the fact that it does happen. I believe the government share the blame as well since they don’t have harsher restrictions or limitations. Why not assist the people that are single mother’s or father’s, working full-time, going to school, who are struggling to make ends meet be helped as well? I feel people who are working full-time and going to school are more likely to wing off government assistant programs than the one’s who are not doing nothing with their lives because they become so dependent on it. It’s time to analyze and revise the system where it could assist the families in hardships, but also help them to work harder to better their lives.
