It's funny to me... When I lost my job last year I was denied any assistance and I have bills out the wazoo. Somehow, I managed to survive... Oh yeah, I simply sold stuff I could and used all my savings and found odd jobs to do until something steady came along. That was the saving grace. Most people never start a savings because they must have that 55 inch tv or new car. Someday I WILL be debt free... At my current rate, I'll be 72 before it happens, but it WILL happen.


I say give the leeches a choice, work at a provided job, sell your stuff, or eat a bullet.

That being said, there are some geuine people who truly do need help, but that should be all done by the private sector, not the government. If you can't run your life, you shouldn't be able to live it, much less bring others into it with a low percentile of a chance for success.
