True, it creates dependencies which are not easy to move past. When Clinton passed his well needed Welfare reform bill, look at the thousands of American who where lost and had no idea what to do outside the welfare system. They had to institute training programs to assimilate these people back into working society.

Step forward to Greece and we see this again but this time, the government just cant afford to support these people. The most laughable of all this however was when Nancy Pelosky said that welfare and unemployment insurance "stimulates the economy". What idiot would buy into that I don't know but clearly she has a few in her district that do.

Can you point to any credible evidence to this? I know they sat in one meeting out of thousands but I have never seen anything that would indicate they wrote this bill or endorse it. And please don't site the AARP, they are NOT an insurance company, they just resell other companies insurance.
