My Life As A Welfare Brat

Welfare is by far one of the most controversial issues among the American people, dealing with its government. I believe welfare is a needed benefit for some who actually need it. But what sets the standards of how bad or if some even need welfare check from the government? For those who need it; going through significant hard times, unemployment, health in jeopardy for children and themselves, then yes welfare should be provided. But how Larstella describes the abuse of welfare, and how some take it as a right to be given to them, is simply wrong. However, I do enjoy the journey and story that she shares about how she grew up and how she become somewhat a superstar of welfare. As i first began to read the blog, I was appalled at how Larstella approached these women, and held back nothing. She told of her opinion, and whatever excuse they could give of them being on welfare, she had a reason of how this wrong. When it tells the biography of her life, I can really respect how she came on to these women it getting them to realize the seriousness of what they were doing. It was amazing to me to learn of how some people abuse the welfare and government system. I can not say, welfare needs to be stopped, because I believe it is unfair to punish the whole for a few people's mistakes; however, some efficient plan has to began to stop the abuse of welfare.
