So was social security... Now there are lots that are looking to it as a fallback in retirement, it wasn't designed to be like a pension. My Grandpa is a multimillionaire and he gets about $1800 or so a month.

just taking welfare away from them is no solution, it just leads to more crime among adults and mostly affects those that can't do anything against it - children.
people need options but the jobs those people can do have been killed by modernization or outsourced long ago.

Often times if I go to Wal-Mart at 11pm-3am you'll get backed up by people running through all their coupons, cards, and other program material. I'm not sure if they're there at that hour because they're ashamed or what.
I remember working for a grocery store and a guy came in with welfare and bought 8 cans of cream, GETTING HIGH!!!!!!!
