The purpose of welfare is to help disenfranchised individuals get back on their feet, perhaps it is a broken system, but I would want to see a legitimate study showing such before getting rid of the system all together. There are always assholes who see things as a free ride and take advantage of the situation, no matter what it is. just because a certain percentage abuses of the program, might it be more appropriate to create more rigorous restrictions/regulation first before ending the program as a whole?

well some aspects of social security may be outdated, when your geriatric and frail and such, the Medicare part of the social security program will pay some of the expenses of such things as canes and wheelchairs with medicare however the largest problem with it is need for reform to adress the problem of medicare fraud and the fact that mecial services and prescription drug prices are so ridiculously high
