The way way to properly care for the truly needy is to get government out of the welfare business altogether. Government has created the Welfare Vulture Culture, wherein smarmy, conniving con artists rip off the system on a daily basis -- with the full knowledge and active cooperation of their social program enablers (including Barack Obama, who made his living enabling and empowering the Vultures). As harsh as it may seem, people in need should be forced to turn to productive members of society and directly ask for aid. The aid should be temporary -- and those "in need" should be forced to prove that (1) the need is real and (2)they will when they can become productive members of the society paying their way.

One of the most destructive aspects of the entitlement culture has been the degrading of shame as a means to correct one's behavior. The welfare cheat has no shame, and has been told not to--that is the core of the entitlement mentality. Since she has been taught that government money is free money she has no qualms about stealing more of it.

Welfare fraud is like a victimless crime to these decrepit souls. If they received aid from private sources, they would at least realize they are feeding off someone. They still might cheat, but at least they would have to face the reality of who and what they are.
