I think there is a difference between CAN and SHOULD. Of course the Government SHOULD try and help poor people but like everything it is abused, welfare anyone? I would be all for turning welfare into a 6 month period to help people get on their feet and some money in the bank, not living off it. So yeah they SHOULD try and do something to help the poor in this country but CAN they is the question.
