Only because nonsense like this is allowed.

You should be looking for work. If you haven't tried looking for a job you get your benefits removed. Obviously the Elderly and Disabled should get help but healthy people should be looking for work if they aren't employed.
> What exactly do you suggest as the alternative?
Get a job.
