I think that no-bid contracts should be banned from being doled out, as they are blatant examples of government corruption.
I think corporate welfare is quite dangerous in this country, and that it needs to be revised.
I think that lobbyists should be restricted so that they lobby for an entire industry and not just a specific company.
I think that those who benefit from corporate welfare - executives, managers, employees, and shareeholders of companies that receive government contracts - should get drug tested before a government contract is given to a company.

I think that all government services are better done via government agencies than by contracted private businesses.
Those are some of the changes to our welfare system that I would like to make.
Corporate subsidies are not welfare. Corporate subsidies are an investment in the productivity of the United States of America. You know: jobs, infrastructure, innovation.
How are no bid contracts welfare and how are they corrupt in nature?
because a no bid contract guarantees a company will get hired by the government.many of those companies charge the most and do the lowest quality work,and are hired because the ceo was buddy buddy with someone in power.
2. They are not usually done in areas where there is many other companies able to do the work that is being asked to be done.
Welfare needs a drastic overhaul these days. The amount needs to be reduced, it needs to require full-time employment, recipients should be mandated to take random, frequent drug tests, and women need to be placed on some sort of birth control who receive funding. These are just tips of the iceberg.
This is generally the rational isn't it? Such as the rational for KBR (who rips off the government) but was really the only company with the ability to provide the service the government needed.
Have you ever spent the time looking at the rules that must be followed? Though you might want to check back at least once a week since it changes at least that often but still, have you?
cthomp said:I agree with you until the birth control part. I agree that they should absolutely not have anymore kids, not only is that not constitutional, how would you know if they were taking the birth control as prescribed?

I come from an area that has a lot of people on welfare. My neighboring town is roughly 86%. I can honestly say that when I go through that town I am amazed. It is not rare to see expensive cars, rims, and hear the bumping of expensive stereo systems in cars. For the most part the people are dressed in expensive clothes and shoes. To pile it on it is common to see many people walking the streets in the middle of the day during the week. It frustrates me to see the welfare system abused. However, I am not completely against it. My question is what do you think the welfare system should be like?
I feel it should go something like this. I would like to see the people on welfare drug tested. Next I think there should be somewhat of a stepping system. People that receive welfare should have to do some community service. Maybe two three times a week to earn their check. Give them x amount of days to get a job. Any job, working at McDonalds if they have to. This way their welfare check can be reduced. The system should be organized to help people get off of their feet, not feel its ok to sit at home and just get a hand-out.
1.Food stamps should be replaced with a voucher system similar to WIC. With WIC you can only get the products the vouchers say you can get and when you can get them. This would eliminate people wasting tax payer dollars on cookies,candies, energy drinks, and other luxury and junk food.This would also help eliminate the foodstamp from hell rush that happens at the fist of the month at all the grocery stores.
I haven't...this is just based on my limited experience with them.

I didn't say corporate subsidies. I said corporate welfare. And I said it needs to be revised, not abolished.
Nice try, though.
