I agree with Tim. Plus, on the recent thread about this subject, I posted a rather lengthy rant.
Mat, I'd like to ask you if you are still on welfare? Or did you use it to get you through a down period as it was intended for until you got on your feet again?
Welfare is intended to help people through temporary periods in their lives until they can get into a position where they can be SELF SUFFICIENT (those were the big buzzwords when I worked in the system). I totally agree with that. Like many huge beaurocracies, the people running them & working in them also have a stake in perpetuating them - which does a lot to promote dependency on both sides, the providers and the recipients.
