no, welfare did not destroy the Roman Empire.

there are many reasons why it fell, welfare issues were a trivial part of them.

the big reasons are-

barbarian invasions

decline of available slave labor

rise of eastern empire

over spending on military

decline of available soldiers

government corruption

christianity
