No wonder JavaBlack doesn't understand conspiracies. The peons at the bottom just do what they are told and have no understanding as to why decisions are made way above their paygrades.
I think he really understands it though but nice try trying to make it seem the grunts at the bottom have to understand and agree to the policy made at the top. Maybe I can help you though. Just ask yourself just who gets helped by these services? Why is there just a small percentage of people that ever escapes government dependancy? Why does generation after generation of the same families get dependant on the government. If these services were designed to succeed this would never happen and the cycle would have been broken years ago. . |

If I am understand your comments right, you are making the assumption that the majority of people on welfare are black. Now lets see blacks make up 13% of the population in this country which means that only 3 or 4% of black people are actually on welfare rolls. Now I could be wrong but sounds too me like there is probably a whole lot of white people getting a check and food stamps every month also. Now lets us move on the majority of black people work everyday I own my own business and my wife invest in real estate, we have two children that we support and take care of everyday. Welfare is a myth and sterotype that people such as your self have lumped on the majority of black people. Tell you what don't take the cameras to the welfare office in the hood take it to the one in the country or suburbia and you might be alittle surprised to see who the majority is standing in line. Peace. |

On a serious note, how much do the fiscal experts here think that anti-substance abuse program would cost per year?

I know what's going on? In your definition of what's going on? Yes and no. I realize that welfare programs generally aren't doing a great job of helping the poor (also realizing that their absence doesn't help much either). But I don't need a conspiracy theory to figure out why that is. The people in the bureaus try to what extent they can, especially those that actually work directly with the poor. The problem is that they must work within the structure. The tructure of all bureaucracy is pretty much the same. They worry about efficiency, net results, and securing profits. Politicians set the goals. Politicians are elected by the people. And as much as they'll never admit it, most people just don't want to think about the poor. They want them out of the way. They either want to lump them all as scoundrels or all as people needing help. Government is slow to figure out that not all poor people are the same and not all have the same needs. Departments are compartmentalized and each believes in its solution first and foremost. Departments are slow to form relationships with one another to get things done right. Poor people are numbers in government. It's not some conspiracy. It's just the nature of bureaucracy. If there's a better way, I'm all for it. And in the meantime, yes, I need some paychecks. I refuse to leave my fiancee alone to pay off my old debt. I feel little guilt about getting done what I am charged with and then taking the pay for the other hours I was promised. God, I'd love a salary job. I should probably feel more guilt about shirking at my sales job which actually expects more of me, but... I don't. Oh well. I'm an @$$hole, just like everyone else in retail. Retail brings out the worst in everyone. I don't shirk, however, at my lowest paying, fewest hours position as a caregiver.

Long-term welfare is NOT needed. I say longterm because some might think of unemployment benefits as welfare (short-term). Unemployment is sufficient at six months in my opinion. If one can't find a job in six months they're either not looking or have screwed up so bad with past employment that they're no longer a desirable employment prospect. If your job doesn't pay enough; get a different job or a second job. If that doesn't help; you need to cut your expenses. As a last resort, bankruptcy can eleviate those expenses for a fresh start. If you bring a child into the world & are unable to pay for that child you should either put it up for adoption or be charged with child-endangerment.
