People are panicked about giving up their carefully knitted safety net by venturing into an income or assets level that would threaten it.

We really have created destructive social policies that I used to think were just the result of well-meaning incompetence.

I had an economics professor who said the government should bury a million dollars in a canister in an open field and pay people to go looking for it. The finder keeps the money. Perhaps it would work with the welfare payments. At least they’d go home too tired to cause trouble.
