Mike,
Again, no real problems with your ideas.
There are some practical matters
but basically you are on the right track.
For example, what if someone
cannot work due to injury or debilitating
disease ?
That's a point that must be taken. The current popular definition
of "welfare" as
"giving money to anyone who DOESN'T work" is flawed in that sense. My wife
is visually impaired, and somewhere down the road will likely be completely
blind,
living on SSDI and whatever income I make.
However, as witness some of the demonstrations at GOP debates, there are
those
who would begrudge her that, calling it a handout. Let her sell pencils on
a street
corner or beg for alms...but the religious probably wouldn't go for that
either.
I hope those folks truly do represent a lunatic fringe among the Tea Party,
and are
not representative of the whole.
