John Rose on Welfare & Poverty

 

 


Welfare lets able-bodied workers sit on sidelines & get paid

The welfare system is a trap that keeps too many Tennesseans in a state of dependency. Our social safety nets were intended to be a safeguard for the most vulnerable in our society. Instead, many able-bodied workers sit on the sidelines and receive a check rather than earning a wage. That becomes a cycle learned by their children, friends and neighbors. I support welfare reform that provides support to those who need it most and won't send our country further into debt.
