The Problem with Work Requirements

[Jerry2144]

13. another problem is that it disconnects those who need help the most from being able to get it

If a person where de-homed by the system and is living on the street, it's tough to get a job when one doesn't have access to a shower and clean, serviceable clothing. And without a job, it's hard to afford a place where one can have clean clothes and take a shower. I do not think that there are more than one or two people living on the street in this country who like it and prefer it to living somewhere safer. "I think I'll take these government handouts and still live care-free on the streets" is a thought very few, if any, of these people think.

We need to get better as a society of taking care of those in need and ensuring basic necessities are met.
