In the early days of the United States, the colonies imported the British Poor Laws. These laws made a distinction between those who were unable to work due to their age or physical health and those who were able-bodied but unemployed. The former group was assisted with cash or alternative forms of help from the government. The latter group was given public service employment in workhouses.
Under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Social Security Act was enacted in 1935. The act, which was amended in 1939, established a number of programs designed to provide aid to various segments of the population. Unemployment compensation and AFDC (originally Aid to Dependent Children) are two of the programs that still exist today.
A number of government agencies were created to oversee the welfare programs. Some of the agencies that deal with welfare in the United States are the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Department of Labor, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Education.
The combined value of federal, state, and local expenditures in 2004 was $3.75 trillion, Federal taxes amounted to $1.82 trillion. State and local taxes and related revenues amounted to $1.6 trillion,
Together,THEY amounted to $3.43 trillion.THAT'S about 91 percent!
MY IDEA lets through out the Welfare System and the People who are able body but refuse to work!
LETS KICK EVERYONE OFF THE FREE RIDE KNOWN AS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND DO AWAY WITH THE DRAIN OF OUR MONEY!
LETS KEEP THE HARD WORKING PEOPLE WHETHER THEY ARE HISPANIC OR AMERICAN!
