Has it? I don't think I have talked to a single person who likes the current state of welfare in the USA. The problem is that some people think it is too generous, and others think it is not generous enough; so we end up with a clearly dysfunctional system as it accumulates changes changes born out of polar opposite views of the problem.
- decremental 5y agoYes. The well-meaning but ill-informed voters are the ones who think it isn't generous enough.
- qntty 5y agoSeems like a pretty arbitrary way of framing things. You could support programs that would help poor people become more independent while framing this as being a more generous social program.
