These kind of labyrinthine policies happen because they're attempts to appease people who don't want these programs to exist at all.

- UncleMeat 4y agoYup. People complain about freeloaders taking advantage of these systems so they demand policies like this.
- olyjohn 4y agoYep. Shut down the whole system because there are some people who might cheat on it. It's like if we shut down Home Depot because there's people stealing merchandise. Welp, buncha fuckin freeloaders stealing tools again! Better get rid of all the Home Depots so nobody can steal.
- UncleMeat 4y agoAnd even if people aren't cheating it, just make up stories about people doing to so to justify shutting it down! The "welfare queen" archetype is so strong in the minds of people in this country that it prevents all sorts of useful policy.
