If this thread is about people that misuse welfare, but not actually any sort of claim about welfare: Yeah, irresponsible people suck in general.

If this is a thread saying the system is flawed: Yes. It is flawed. But in our current political state, reform is deadly. One side would altogether eliminate, leaving people like me choosing between prescriptions for my mother's PTSD and food so that my family doesn't starve because the food banks are all darn near empty. (Wanna see some DIRECT good from your charity? Go ask a food bank what they need and donate it.) The other side would dump an absurd amount of money into social programs leaving the economy reminiscent of a teenage girl with her first credit card.

No matter what this thread is about: Welfare is a necessary system that does a LOT of good. It's a real shame people misuse it, but the effects of not having it are far worse than a percentage of low-life individuals depending on it from laziness.
