What are some of the negative aspects of the American welfare system?
In a temporary situation the welfare system is a pretty good system,but.. The system as it is now does the recipients a great disservice. People have gotten to the point of being totally dependent on the welfare system and fall into a pit that is very hard to get out of. The system needs to be adjusted with provisions set in place to assure that the recipients are taught a skill or educated so that they can become gainfully employed.
I think that a lot of people just fall through the cracks in the welfare system/ Not only in America but in other western countries as well…..It is pretty hard to generalize when a lot of the people on welfare are also emotionally disturbed to get an accurate picture of exactly how the system is failing…but it does fail often…That said–it has also helped a lot of people in trouble.
