28th Amendment

            Some people in the US receive money and food stamps for having a very low or no income. People can also qualify for Medicaid if they have young children. Some of the many people who use welfare are abusing the system, by not attempting to apply for any jobs, lying about how many children they have, or claiming they have disabilities when they do not. Because these individuals are receiving money for not doing anything they are giving the people who could not live with out it a bad name. To stop these people should have to comply with regular visits, to prove they are trying to get jobs, currently have children, or have a disability as well as taking drug tests to make sure the money isn’t wasted,           
I believe that this is an important amendment that will help save the U.S. money that would otherwise go to people who don’t deserve it and help weed out the people who are breaking the law.
Many low-income families would oppose this amendment because they do not want to be hassled with the constant checkups, especially those who do use it the wrong way. To this I say, if you are not breaking the guidelines then you have nothing to worry about and you will receive the governments help and that it is a small price to pay to receive free money, if you need it.
