Well. Some would argue that if we didn't have those social programs (or at least if they were much smaller), then having a job *would* be a solution.
How so? Why is having a job the solution to a person who already has a job? What does a person do when having a job is not enough, when having two jobs is not enough? I hear in the news about how social security is threatened by the likes of all these "conservatives" calling it "hand outs for lazy people."
On the other hand-- Sometimes I wonder how it is possible for these same people to have so much money, when it would seem they havn't worked a day in their lives. They come in and **** away $15,000 on custom appliences and doorknobs and other trivial things like it's nothing yet cannot comprehend something as simple as an exit door that won't open from the outside. Clearly these are not educated people, yet they're loaded with cash at all times. They cannot all be lottery winners. How do all these people get their money I wonder? These are the same people who believe welfare is socialism and must be eliminated. They've apparantly never had to live with every available friend and family member just to get by as we have. To them me and my family are filth, we are their servants. They even own the homes we live in as if this were some feudal society, calling themselves "land lords." You mention the expense in housing, and the news flaunts it as "proof of booming economy". Booming economy for those who are already rich.
"Savings and wise investments" I can hear some of them say, but to do that there needs to BE money to save and invest. They can't just pull money out of their asses, and they sure as hell didn't just "get a job" for it.
Sorry, I've been rambling. Just answer the first part. How is getting a job the answer for those who have a job already? Apparantly welfare is not just for those who don't want to work when there are many who do work, and work hard, but nomatter how hard they work it is never enough.
