I'm glad that your sister and you agree with me that many people abuse the system. Elimination of the services? No. Elimination of the abuse? Yes.

Hey we can all agree on the elimination of abuse
seen to much of it up here... welfare fraud being the favourite it seems.
I also have to believe that the services provided reduces the burden on society, more than it taxes them (pun intended). I mean if a person has now hope or chance to escape from dire straits it stands to reason they turn to crime, thereby creating a direct impact on others in society; or that a person without reasonable medical recourse becomes a bigger burden latter on... I wonder if anyone has done a study seeing if states (or countries) that have a social support network have less crime or health issues on a long-term basis?
