| Message | Under current Law the sick and the uneducated only get money for a period of time. So already those who are ill or disabled may not be able to collect Welfare. So for the most part all people currently collecting welfair are probaly those who are to lazy to work. Or to much of a screw up to get a job. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
