Public Assistance Programs

• The government provides lots of assistance to the public. They provide aid to families where the main wage earner has been disabled,left, or died. But many people argue that these programs promote fatherless families by encouraging men to leave their families so that they can get special benifits. The government also provides food stamps to increase the food-buying power of the low income families. There is also a medicaid program that helps pay hospital, doctor, and other medical expenses for low income families. The government provides lots of aid to its people and if you need help you know its out there.
