Welfare Recipients In THIS State Just Received Some DEVASTATING News When the state of Main instituted welfare to work policies, abusers were so averse to getting a job or education that one third of them opted to stop receiving benefits instead. That is the major takeaway in a recent interview with Gov. Paul LePage. In the interview with The Daily Signal, LePage claims that the state was able to reduce its rolls almost immediately. While Gov. LePage admitted that Maine in a demographically old state, he claimed that it was shocking to see the youth that was on it. Those statistics prompted them to work on getting them to work. LePages Welfare to Work program aimed to get able-bodied recipients back into the workforce. I think that the thing that worked the best in the way that the system sort of revolved was by combining the Department of Health and Human Services, Education, Labor, and now were putting the Veterans Administration in the same building. We do an intake, LePage continued. We assess their needs, their educational skills and whether or notwhat do they need so they can hold down a job. When the state implemented the process, the results were shocking. One-third decided they didnt want to do any of the above, so they left, he commented. That happened within a couple of monthsand they werent from Maine, thats the thing. They just came to Maine because were so generous. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is it time we get rid of the mooches abusing the system?
