I heard a coworker talking down on welfare and other social support. I was offended but decided to hold my tongue.
Pro's and Con's.  Those systems are abuse prone but, some people need them.
Yea that is true, I just have met a few people in need before so I always think of them. That's part of why I didn't speak on it though, it would take all day discussing factors or something.
It can be infuriating.  For example, over a 3 year period in my own state, there was about ~20 million dollars worth of food stamps spent in major vacation hot spots (florida, hawaii, california, virgin islands)
