Finishing them off pushes the limits . . .

Civility will in this case mete out some penalty, and that is a good sign. Thanks for the sensible take overall.

On another note - totally unrelated - civility enjoins us to solicit and publish the names of all who receive unearned benefits from the Federal Government, along with how much they receive, while at the same time requiring of them proportionate civil service, whether it be picking up trash, scrubbing sidewalks, or some other common good. If the recipients of this benefaction refuse the same, then they should be either held up to public ridicule, or imprisoned (to perform civil service under duress), or exiled.

During the Great Depression of the 1930s, those on 'relief' worked, often for a dollar a day. My Grandfather worked on concrete bridge projects, but others built roads in National Forests, and did other infrastructure work (WPA Projects).

I think it would be fair enough to ask some sort of work from those on welfare, but in the current state of affairs, the unions would either demand membership or have a sh*tfit, there would be an ungodly number of victim claims for harassment or whatever, and actually getting any work done on Uncle Sam's Plantation would be tough, unless it involved an opportunity to rip someone/something off.

Even getting these people to clean up their own neighborhoods might be a challenge. Granted, not all would be that way, but I'd wager a significant number would.
