Assuming you're referring to the US (which you may not be), how is this "multi-generational welfarism" viable when benefits are restricted to a five-year lifetime cap after 1996? In addition, there is a work requirement while receiving welfare (welfare-to-work).
Food stamps do not have such a limitation, but would hardly be able to support the long term lifestyle you describe.
