I agree. All able bodied people should work for their money. I say mandatory community service cleaning streets, parks, lakes, and school grounds. Memphis and other cities could use more sanitation workers. Put them to work in cafeterias, community centers and senior centers. They can deliver meals to the elderly, clean hospitals and more. There should also be mandatory parenting and budget classes. Make them do something for the money. I hate giving money to people who are able to work. While we are at it the cops need to get all of those guys off of the street corners shaking people down for money everyday.
Make the cost of receiving welfare tougher and the problem will be solved. I am also for mandatory military service for all citizens, but you know that will never happen.
