public assistance and didn't pay their room and board causing their own homelessness. Programs do not help these people void of a work ethic, dignity, and shame. Out of 27 men in 2 halfway houses but 4 of us worked, and 2 worked for the program. The rest were social parasites. For sure, it was cheaper to tax my overtime pay and give them welfare than sending them to prison for their criminal behavior but they continued to prey on our community, and therein those costs are never factored in. I would rather fund sending them to a prison work camp where they can work off their debt to society, and learn they have a responsibility to support themselves, then let them freeload off my paycheck like people like my grandfather.
