able body welfare recipients should be made to work in some fashion
neighborhood watch groups , clean your neighborhood, clean roadways and highways, provide daycare services, work for children activities, clean maintain paint public housing...........................
there are scores of ways to make them contribute to society, they can be compensated somewhat based on what service they provide, there would be required over-site for many services (hell, have their probation officers check in on them
)
doing such would motivate many to get a real job, win win
