What jobs will they have?
Have you seen the unemployment numbers?
Plus there are plenty of people on welfare (food stamps, Medicaid, etc) that have full time jobs.
Have you ever heard the term "working poor"? Have you ever read the book Nickle and Dimed?
I take it that this also applies to CEOs and other executives that have recently been rewarded, for the biggest financial failure since the Great Depression, with taxpayer funded bailouts and bonuses BUT YET they refuse to lend money and are back to their reckless ways.

Do you believe people on Welfare should be made to work for the Community they reside?
You are about 15 years behind the curve on this question.
In 1995 the Federal government closed out Aid to Dependent Children (welfare) and enacted the Temporary Assistance to Working Families (TANF). One of the requirements of receiving TANF benefits is gainful employment.
Federal law requires that half of the families receiving assistance under TANF must be engaged in some kind of work-related activity for at least 30 hours a week (or 20 hours a week for single-parents with young children). States must have a higher share of two-parent families — 90 percent— engaged in work (generally for 35 hours per week.) States can get credit against this work rate for recent declines in their assistance caseload. Changes made in the work requirements by the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 and subsequent federal regulations effectively increased the work requirements that states must meet as compared to the prior TANF law and made it more difficult for states to achieve their target work rates.
Did not vote, simply because everyones situation is different, I might agree in some cases and not others, sorry but the world is not black and white.

In this economy, what jobs would people be doing, exactly? Jobs are pretty scarce nowadays.
Would welfare be their payment?
Would that, in turn, take away paying jobs from employed people?
