Because of the nature of humanity, I have noticed that instead of gratitude for a non permanent income. People tend to retain the memory of being stripped of a benafit, rather than the years of help it provided. My neighbor (a former stripper) has had 8 years of rent paid by a government program. She now blames all of her problems on this subsidy ending. I don't have the courage to ask her why she isn't grateful for 8 years of housing.
