Welfare and entitlements have gone too far.

Social Security is primarily funded through dedicated payroll taxes called Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax (FICA). Tax deposits are formally entrusted to the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund, the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund, the Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund, or the Federal Supplementary Medical Insurance Trust Fund which comprise the Social Security Trust Fund.[ Upward redistribution of income is responsible for about 43% of the projected Social Security shortfall over the next 75 years. Is Social Security really necessary? Yes, as of right now SS is very necessary. This projected graph indicates that SS will no longer be an entitlements and cannot afford to live of them. With that, it shows that no wealth will be along any American and SS will not support them. That is why many young Americans are opening accounts for their retirements with the scare if SS goes broke. https://www.google.com...Is There Fraud In Welfare? Over 46 million has been estimated for anyone receiving welfare, food stamps/EBT. Do the math and you will find 10% misusing, refuse to work which leads to debunking the myth of abusing it. 10% is at least estimated in system just from families alone. Do the 10% math out of over 46 million is 460,700 who are abusing the system so the myth has been proven. Also, studies have shown that more drug abusers and addicts are on welfare who take the money from the program and use it on drugs. Welfare Reform Under the Clinton administration in 1996, U.S. President Bill Clinton signed the Welfare Reform Bill as you will see in the results below: s://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com...; alt="" data-src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com...; data-sz="f" />When the bill took effect, the part of the reform bill was that you get welfare, but you also look for job. Showing by the results by the results the poverty level and government assistance dropped at lower level. Clearly, the reform was a success in bill. If we get a welfare reform to where Bill Clinton had it, the poverty and Welfare will go down. This is where I failed to add the word "jobs" in my previous debate because you had noticed that I had said "But, I feel as being on the welfare program their should be a reform that requires you to get within a certain amount of time instead of just handing things to people that make them more dependent." That is where I had failed to add the word "jobs" I apologize for the confusion. I have a slight case of reading comprehension and a information processing disorder.Con's statementsMy opponents statements are also in italics and mine will be in bold. I will be proving my points and why they are indeed relevant and giving him sources beyond his requests. Also, he has failed to prove why they are irrelevant, S1: 69% of Americans “see a problem.” – Sources needed.-https://www.google.com...S2: $131.9 billion spent on entitlements – Irrelevant - This is indeed relevant. The government has gone deep into debt in paying things into the form of "entitlements" such as health care, welfare, EBT/food stamps.Source: http://youtu.be... (watch up to 1:07)S3: : 4.1% of the population is on welfare (4,300,000 claim to be on welfare, 46,000,700 claim to be on food stamps 5,600,000 claim to be unemployed.) Again demonstrating the critical need for these programs. It is unreasonable to assume that so many millions of Americans are being lazy, or abusing the system. -This is why we need welfare reform. With the welfare reform less people will be abusing, misusing, back to work, and states can afford to have a welfare system with the taxpayers going in so it will not be brokenS4: Whenever children are involved I have no problem with it because they should be having shelter, food this an important concession.-This is important to me because children of all, should be growing up in poverty, should not go hungry, should have clothing on their backs. With that being said, IF we had a welfare reform that would require the parent(s) to look for a job so states can afford to be able to send welfare to others who are in truly need of it.S5: One problem that has been associated with welfare states is the difficulty in creating an efficient system-Irrelevant.- My wise opponent failed to elaborate on why he thinks it is irrelevant. It is indeed relevant because welfare cannot in all cases create an efficient system and go broke. Ways it cannot be inefficient is enabling and making people even more dependant on government assistance when the taxpayer money can be spent on something more efficient like a family who truly needs it more than a person who refuses to work, public playground for children, education and schools. S6: The rationing of goods and services also becomes a problem when too many people depend on the welfare state to provide for their basic needs.-Irrelevant- This is indeed relevant because welfare states go broke along with the welfare system. We could California as an example. California has the highest population of poverty in the U.S. California takes up 12% of the U.S. population. California's welfare system is broken and the state is broke. With that, the welfare state cannot keep affording little of taxpayers money they have to keep giving welfare/ebt assistance due to the fact it does become a problem when too many people depend on the government because they run out of EBT/Welfare due to high poverty like Georgia and California with less employment. With less employment, the taxpayers cannot pay for everyone. When people feel they have the right to collect everyone else's money and not worry about paying for mortgages, gas, and parents feel they do not need to be held accountable, but the government does. My opponent also failed to explain why it is irrelevant.Source: https://www.google.com...Source 2: https://www.google.com...Source 3: http://youtu.be...Closing Arguments My very skilled opponent thinks welfare and "entitlements" have not too far. With this closing argument I will indeed prove that it has. That woman in the video above has no children or anyone to take care of but herself in this video. She is dependant on the system, taxpayers and government. With this being said, more welfare abuse is happening in today’s society than ever before. With the reform people like this will get a job and have the system more efficient with families that need it instead of people depending on the taxpayers. 60 of Americans take out more from the system than pay into it. With that less people are working, more expensive for the taxpayers, and the whole welfare system will go bankrupt.I would also like to again, thank my opponent for engaging in this debate. I think I have proven my points and think both of us have engaged in efficent debate. http://youtu.be...
