I don’t think anyone on welfare would say their lives are easy.

  *easier than not having it

    Actually, it's worse than that right now for many on welfare, as they face the "benefits cliff". Inflation is rampant and some low wage earners are getting modest increases to keep up with inflation, but this increase is subsequently pinching their benefits.

      so... if would be better for them if they never had those benefits how?

        This has been debated ad nasuem in America since at least the 60s. It depends on your philosophy both economic and political.

  "easier" =/= "easy". A lot of people on welfare would say that welfare makes their life easier. Very few would say it makes it easy.

    Have you asked any of them how much "easier" it is, or are you assuming? I'm guessing you're assuming.

      If someone continually applies for a welfare benefit, is that not prima facie evidence that it makes their life easier in some way?
