Yes, I did, didn't I?
Here's the conundrum:
We can ignore people who can't support themselves, in which case they're likely to resort to stealing from people who can.
We can pay them off in what we call "welfare", thus enabling them to continue to make the choices that makes them unable to support themselves to begin with.
Choosing plan B will encourage (no, make that has encouraged) people to choose welfare as a way of life while raising the next generation to be just as unemployable as they are.
Or, we could make a contract with the drug addicted and otherwise irresponsible who make a career out of the dole: Sure, we'll continue to pay for your living, but we, the taxpayers want an accounting of just what you do with your time.
Much like any employer wants an accounting of how his employees spend their time, at least while on the job.
We, the ones paying the bills, want to make sure that you send your kids to school so they are less likely to wind up on welfare themselves.
We, the responsible members of society who are paying the bills want to discourage your from spending your time stoned/drunk/high.
Now, which plan seems the most workable in the long term?
