 You obviously don't live in Washington. In most states handouts ARE difficult

 In Washington it IS difficult to get a handout but the problem isn't so
much that it's easy to get on welfare as it can be difficult to get off
of. (Looks LOUSY on resume and requires mass amount of time in form filing,
etc.) It also kills a lot of folks self-image, after awhile a person can
believe what everybody says: "You're a Parasite". Not a good attitude.
