											<title>SOCIAL WELFARE: DOES IT REALLY HELP OR DOES IT REALLY HURT?</title>
											<description>
&lt;p&gt;The social welfare system in this country has gone from
being a government life-line during tough economic times to a racket which all
players (including the US government) are benefiting from. Indeed, helping the
poor has simply given way to rampant corruption which pervades the social
welfare system. Although most people tend to believe that social welfare was
and is a good idea, it is often hard for them to look in the mirror when the
ugly TRUTH is staring back at them. This is when one is forced to see the
system for what it is and not what it is supposed to be.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
