With that line of thinking wed have to drug test Medicare, Medicaid, SSI, SSDI, financial aid recipients, etc. There are many parasites gaming the system.
I don’t like social welfare programs either. My only point is that its a) not much money individually b) its on a debit card and c) due to laws passed in the last 10-14 years, we’ve addressed issues of entitlement, life-long dependence, and the language included to promote two parent families and work ethic.
Whether or not all three of those are working, I don’t know. But welfare is not what it used to be.
So.
