C-101: Slashing entitlement programs decreases the dependency on them by Americans, shrinks the control of the government, and ultimately leads to a greater America because the unemployed are forced to actually earn their living rather than living off other taxpayers hard earned dollars.

I agree with this statement.
In my opinion (and I know it's harsh) we should do away with welfare altogether except for aged, orphaned, or disabled persons. I would not qualify an illiterate person for welfare/housing/health care if that was the only disability.
Many would argue we will have a vast underclass out of work. The only problem I can foresee is we need to work on illegal immigration and revamp our worker visa program to become an adjunct to a system of vigilant recruitment of poor/undereducated Americans to work in those industries now filled by aliens.
Not everyone is college material. Not everyone is trade school material. Some would do well to pick fruit or be a maid and earn an honest living.
