I think all benefits should be earned through a community service program.
Yes, I know TANF.
A person must serve their country in order to benefit from it. This includes community service to military service.
You need food, do some community service. You want some medical benefits, work for the state part-time.
Mostly because, I'm so tired of people complaining about where their tax dollars are going and how they are being wasted. Tired of people complaining about others who only want to "mooch off the system".
This way there will be no mooching and you can stop bitching.
Honestly, the federal govt. shouldn't be benefiting anyone. All federal benefit programs should be ran by the local government.
And due to the battle cry of the ChickenHawks, I'm so ready to support compulsory national service. You want to support our troops? Fight beside them in battle. If you're qualified to join the military then joining up is the only support that is worth anything.

I got one better. How about we eradicate the need for govt. assistance. How about solving the problem instead of just throwing money at it.
How about everyone who wants a job has a job. A job with a living wage. A job that can cover housing, food, childcare, transportation, clothing, education. A job that has good medical benefits. A job with a sound retirement plan.
How about eradicating unemployment and poverty.

I was about to submit this idea as a petition to the federal government. I took some time to research while I was writing the proposal and I found that TANF already requires people to work.

Work requirements: The following work requirements are established under TANF:
- Unless a state opts out, non-exempt adult recipients who are not working must participate in community service two months after they start receiving benefits.
- Adults are required to participate in work activities two years after they start receiving assistance under the block grant.
- States may exempt parents with children under 1 from work requirements, and may disregard them in calculating participation rates.
- States may not penalize parents with children under 6 for not working if child care is not available.
