The Welfare System Must Go Through Another Reform.

My first original editorial was about the welfare reform, it was a very factual post that informed readers, and discussed both sides on the issue. And therefore it complied with the ethic code of journalism. I am once again writing about this almost forgotten issue that has been keeping corruption alive.

The reason why I am once again writing about the welfare reform is because I believe that the poor is being left behind and furthermore, being unheard. As humans we should be concerned about a group of people being unheard, and that is because in order to be better than we are, we must consider an idea that we cannot come up with on our own. The more points of views we have, the more solutions to our problems we have. This is very important in the days that we are living. Some natural phenomenon are unlikely (for example hearing everyone’s point of view, or prevent volcanoes from warming up the earth), however, we can take diminish people’s need of suffering by making them more educated just like we can diminish the amount of carbon dioxide by creating electric cars.
Back in my first original editorial (that was highly factual), I mentioned how little regulation is made by the federal government on the welfare fund that is given to the state. The foundational reasons why the Personal Responsibilities and Work Opportunity Act are not being respected when we look into, for example, the state of Arizona. In the state of Arizona one in every four children lives in poverty, yet the state cut the five-year per lifetime eligibility limit. In 2014 the state of Arizona cute the lifetime eligibility limit to one year. The country watches cases just like Arizona happening and nobody takes a stand to protect the rights of those with little knowledge. We see so many protests defending the rights of women towards abortion, but we rarely see protests defending the idea of education for all. There is no “undue burden” placed on states due to miss management of a fund that will help the poor advance.


With my view given in this post, and the facts that were given in this editorial and my first one I call for another reform on welfare. The welfare must be regulated, the fund must be renewed, and we as a society must make sure that our laws are not placed in vain.
