Welfare makes individuals more dependent on the government, rather than self and community

  Deletedanswered…2yrs2Y

More, but welfare should be ended, and instead the federal government should fund and support local private charities and nonprofits

Too many fakers. We need to reform the system to root out fakers and immigrant non-citizens and those trying to avoid work and ensure that legal citizens who are genuinely trying to find work but can't receive welfare. So right now, I lean towards more. But whatever ensures reform sometimes.

Entitlement expenditures must be reduced but either by capping total allocations or by across-the-board reductions of the number of people who qualify, not through subjecting recipients to even more red tape.

Welfare should be abolished entirely and replaced by voluntary charity.

 @88LK76J from Michigan answered…2yrs2Y

Abolish the current welfare system and replace it with universal basic income.

  Deletedanswered…2yrs2Y

Regardless, reform the system so that it rewards, not penalizes, getting a job.

The federal government should not be providing welfare benefits. This should be a State or Private issue.

 @69NVLPV from Florida answered…2yrs2Y

Eliminate all existing welfare programs and replace them with a monthly income stipend for all citizen households

More. We should raise the minimum wage to a beginner's living wage and only provide welfare to those who are incapable of working and for up to 6 months in between jobs. People with repairable conditions should be actively getting treatment and doing all that they can to support themselves. The government should find ways besides direct funding from the government to help people get treatment when they can't afford it. For example, they can ask people to donate to charity, do crowdsourcing and crowdfunding, and hire a paid or unpaid (volunteer) worker to find ways to make money for the person, such as through GoFundMe.

Abolish welfare, un-ban high density public housing construction and provide both universal healthcare and a small UBI to all citizens as a dividend of investment on their providing to our prosperity

 @8ZCGKPD from Texas answered…2yrs2Y

lower restrictions on lower and middle class but increase the restrictions on high class

 @4SNPK4Banswered…2yrs2Y

Fewer, there should be no restrictions at all (this is called a UBI)

The whole system needs revamping so that people with actual disability get the help they need to get off welfare, and so that the paltry amount paid actually provides value.

Give it to people that actually need it. These systems should not be abused.

 @8VTBF8J from Alabama answered…3yrs3Y

We don't need less or more benefits or restrictions, just correctly directed benefits. Any benefit given by the federal government should be precise. An example: Food stamps should be more like WIC, as some food stamps are used to buy junk food, instead of the much needed fruits, vegetables, grains, and meats needed.

I don't have enough information at the moment to create my own opinon.

 @8VC7WDN from North Carolina answered…3yrs3Y

More, cap benefits so no one leaches off welfare forever; increase benefits for the elderly and disabled; remove and deny immigrants, especially illegal immgrants, from welfare programs; make it supplemental rather than a replacement for work income.

 @8SXLF6T from Virginia answered…3yrs3Y

Get rid of the current welfare system and replace it with a Negative Income Tax.
