I note that you are seemingly unfamiliar with the current state of Social Security Disability payments quite beyond the scope of the retirement benefits of social security.
The government is not obliged to treat adult citizens as though they are helpless children unable to do anything for themselves. Have you ever been to Court Day in downtown Camden, NJ or any other Democrat cesspool?
I'll have to plead ignorance. My minimal knowledge of welfare programs comes from a cursory search after someone suggested that, for low income families, welfare programs in some states paid better than working. It seems that pols are ever-creative with other people's money.
If I had my druthers, able-bodied adult recipients of welfare benefits who hadn't paid in would be required to do some work or forfeit the right to vote. I'd also make voting contingent upon having paid some minimum amount of federal income taxes. But then again, I don't make the rules. This judicial straitjacket we live under will continue until we make federal judgeships elective positions for fixed terms (say, 10 years).
