Unhappy Meal

Its no secret that a lot of Americans are on food stamps and rely on them to get by day to day because they don't have enough money to purchase their own meals however, food stamps do cause a sense of laziness among people.  People start relying on the food stamps to purchase each of their meals and don't try to work for their meals.  People soon become too dependent on the government to purchase their own meals for them.  The lazy people start to formulate an idea in their head; "Why work when we can just get food stamps?" and they follow through with their ideas.  The government cant differentiate between those that truly needs it because they cannot provide for themselves and those that are not willing to put an effort to working.

What I believe the government needs to do is set stricter qualifications on applications for food stamps.  If the government can do that then they can differentiate between those who really do need the food stamps and those who are just taking advantage of the government assistance programs.  This will help the government save the money they put into the assistance programs by eliminating the lazy people who can work, but wont work for their food, while being able to continue helping those who truly need it.  This will help future generations of families who cannot provide for themselves put food on the table.
