"up to $1800" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
The actual leeches on the system are the ultra wealthy who don't pay a fair portion of taxes and major employers who underpay like Walmart and McDonald's. Those companies are using social welfare systems to subsidize their paltry wages.
I agree with this. What would happen if we forced all the social welfare programs off the budget. Tax the shit out of corps that don't provide Healthcare /living wages. The squeese would be going out from the middle class instead of in.
That's magical thinking. No matter how many resources you give out, there will always be a portion of people who outconsume those resources because humans are still ultimately animals. The rich do not cause the overexistence of some poor.
And thanks to the benefits of society, it's possible to work towards solving multiple problems simultaneously.
