welfare
Introduction Welfare is a group of programs, which are used to help people who are unable to support themselves fully or earn a living. ... The United States government developed this system of welfare to help prevent people from suffering the effects of poverty, which has occurred throughout the history of the United States. There are many different people who receive welfare today, including: families, pregnant teens, homeless people, divorced families, fathers, mothers, and children. Some people think that welfare is one of the worst things in the world, but if you look at the faces of the people who have nothing, and see why they have nothing, then maybe your viewpoint will change.
