Couldn't agree more. I have a friend who's a social worker and she's confirmed this fact many times. Of course there are people using it the way it's supposed to work, ie a TEMPORARY safety net, but like with anything you have tons of people abusing it. She's seen everything, including women who have more kids because of the extra money they get, and of course people who claim welfare and say they live alone so they get more, when in reality they live with a boyfriend/girlfriend.

These people sicken me. I get attacked for saying that because as a middle class white guy, apparently I'm not allowed to criticize anybody who isn't also a middle class white guy. But the entitled attitudes and the complete lack of shame that these welfare abusers have makes me physically ill.
