It’s a tough one. From what I’ve seen on social media the system is ripe with abuse. Families spending more on branded rubbish snack food than most working people could hope to afford. Lots of people are utterly refusing the prospect of needing a job, and threatening to just loot their food from stores or other innocent people too, so the attitudes behind them aren’t nice.
Out benefits in the UK work very differently but it’s the same here. I know people living of free money than certainly should be working, and they sometimes seem to have more financial freedom than I do!
I think asking recipients to do community work is a good option to explore. Only providing staples such as meat, veggies, eggs, butter, cheese ect could be an option too. And healthier!
Having the safety net is vital but people make it a lifestyle choice, even a generational one in some cases!
I agree lots of these folks need a Job.
Cheryl, I really understand you, so many people are so dependent on benefits, that they don’t want to work, they get their rent paid for and the receiving UC benefits and other benefits they even get their poll tax paid for too they get more money then I do from the work I do. So they don’t want to work. It’s sad really the attitud or some people. Thank you Cheryl, for your comment
