Working for the dole..

I think people should only be allowed to sign on the dole for a month or two. I do understand that there are difficulties in trying to get jobs in different parts of the country but lets face it I think most people could get a job in that time even if it's only stacking shelves at your local supermarket! I'm afraid there are too many people who think the world owes them a living, why should us hard working people be expected to pay for them?
