3 B, methinks it's even higher than that in GA. I see it everytime I go to my local Publix (it's even worse at Kroger) and then I politely follow and watch them get in their new-ish luxury car (or brand new F150).

4 I don't have a problem with helping someone out [rice, beans, cold cuts, apples, some powdered milk] BA, but 6 months ought to be about enough. If you can't figure something out in 6 months or less, someone needs to take a very hard look at your efforts.

5 I get what you are saying Beso, but if someone is taking your money to hand out on their own terms, the only person you are helping is the person taking your money.

6 months is plenty. IMHO after 3 months a habit forms. And drug testing. Let me tell you about my step in-law who does nothing but drink beer and 4@ck. He would drink beer before going to a job interview, of course get declined, but interviewer can't say anything about they why, right, so it looked like he was trying to get a job. Bullshit. Or the duuude who asked wife for a job at store other day and was so tweeked out she said it was like he was stuttering backwards. I can go look out my door at a meth house, other than losers shuffling about in their jammies, house is a mouse until sundown, then hoo ah.

Loads.

The killer is the kids grow up thinking this is normal behavior. It pisses me off that my money is being used to subsidize this behavior.

One my favorite? stories is about Lawrence, KS. Declared itself an open/sanctuary city. Pristine downtown unexpectedly turns into a panhandlers paradise, place goes to crap, business drops off. Solution: put the handlers into a detention facility (sound familiar as a solution?) and buses them to and from downtown on a schedule to.....guess: job search or panhandle?

6 Also - if you choose to be on Welfare you choose to give up your right to vote until a year after you leave welfare.

No voting yourself more money!
