As usual, excellent points. But I wonder how long this reasoning can hold among some people, particularly because welfare programs are being cut (and have been "reformed") and time limits are the vogue now.
But that is my point. This is even with welfare reform. The time limit is 5 years and they do give extensions (we just finished our first 5 years of "reform" last year and most benefits were extended, because the systems still had kinks to work out.) So attitudes really haven't changed.

That was what was so frustrating.
