You cannot prove something until you try it. If the whole world were as fearful as your post, we'd still be hugging each other for warmth in trees.
It's a hardware issue. They live in a world of absolutes.

Let me be blunt:

THE QUESTION IS STUPID.

The welfare system has had both positive and negative effects. You cannot summarize it's performance with a binary pass/fail assessment.

That's just stupid.

That is my answer. Live with it.

These are ALL social EXPERIMENTS! Experiments that they have no idea how they will turn out. Experiments that HAVE led to the starvation and deaths of millions of people! Why must they experiment on the human race like they do? I think they are dangerous as all hell for doing that. Just about ALL Communist regimes have tried these experiments in one way or another, they ALL end in misery for the people.
So you'd prefer living in a cave?

You won't answer the question, and try to pull off a kindergarten-like 'that's stupid' excuse. Interesting...

What that tells me is your plan, like the progressives, is to have no intention whatsoever of analyzing social programs for problems and taking corrective action.

Given such, it's pretty easy to see how we ended up with a generational welfare dependency problem.
