[Sci-Fi]

What I am about to say would not apply to legitimates, who through no fault of their own fall into the national safety net.

But for those who're not either temporarily laid off or legitimately unemployed, I believe requiring some kind of work in order to receive benefits would restore honor to the country and to those individuals on welfare. Further, the never or seldom employed young and virile who seem to be otherwise inescapably beset with listlessness, should be required to serve in the US military (in some form), when called upon. Doing nothing and yet expecting to be supported is an option which shouldn't even be on the table.

I'd rather people be doing nothing and to be getting money than for people that are trying to starve. Honestly, the number of people that take advantage are SUCH a small portion. When Obama got into office and benefits were expanded we saw the number of people on assistance go down almost immediately. The more of a boost people have, the better it is for their lives and for the economy as it puts them in a stronger position to find work.
