If this is about welfare, it's even worse.
I won't go into the ethical and logical details as they will fall on deaf ears for the most part. But basically the welfare system is meant to help people who have an obvious history of making poor choices, that's why they are broke. Expecting people with that history to live up to a higher standard (your standard in this case) makes no logical sense.
It's like running a drug rehab clinic and never letting people come back as soon as they relapse. How on Earth did a drug addict use drugs again...it's shocking!!!
How did someone who is broke and destitute make a bad decision?? I figured all homeless people where perfect. Do you see how silly the logic is?
So if a mother goes out one weekend and smokes a joint, her kids are the ones who end up getting punished when the checks are cut off. Think what you want of that woman or her kids, but that's the reality. Welfare and food stamps do pay for a lot of kids to eat despite the abuse of the system. Any social program will have it's fair share of waste but that's the cost of living in a society. This "every man for himself" mentality is how they live in third world hell holes and you can see how they do.
