I can't help but feel for these good people as I can't understand the welfare mentality either. It's got to be more work to avoid working than working-- but some people don't see it that way. In 1995, my family was in the Great Hanshin Earthquake in Japan. The kindness from the rest of the country and the world was overwhelming. Even the bums who hung around downtown could go to public buildings for temporary housing and food. However, they were soon back to their old haunts, despite the opportunity offered to them.
I find it hard to believe that this woman really didn't know what she was getting into. Hasn't she ever been to Frazer?
