People can still be irresponsible (or whatever you'd like to call it) with welfare. They can spend it all at the beginning of the month or barter their credit for cash/drugs. In the end they'll be left hungry. They made that choice for themselves. It's not cruel. To say otherwise is to deny them of their free agency, and if that's the case, perhaps they belong in the care of someone else.
