The fact that some number of people abuse the system is no reason to end it.
Yes it is, especially when "that number" is in the millions and transcends multiple generations.

That's also the same BS line we keep hearing about Medicare and Medicaid. The costs are absolutely strangling this country.

In the neighborhood in Brooklyn I grew up in people sometimes needed help. They got the help and got off. Watch the movie Cinderella Man. Jimmy Braddock went on welfare. He used it for a short time and got off. Today we just don't have the structure to take care of the Braddock familles. I'm not interested in giving away money. I am interested in helping people who need it. If we can't help honest people in America then I guess I am wrong and we're not a great country. I'm not willing to tell honest down and out people to go to hell.
