I think they should be privitized and eventually be by voluntary contributions. I think if they actually had all welfare recipients have to physically show up all at one time, they would find out many don't actually exist or have multiple identities. Or just tell them all they have a job and must report or be cut off ---probably many wouldn't show at all.

AZ had a program where they did privatize some benefits but they found they saved more money by having gov't employees determining eligibility benefits because private pays more in salaries...

BTW, they have to show up twice a year... It takes a lot of staffing to do it more...
