I agree with you partially. While I, have never had to depend on the government for assistance, family has been a HUGE support to me throughout the years! That's the way it should be! I believe that something that was established for temporary relief has become a norm for society...and while we have many comments about it, what are we doing to help further establish/better the people that we are so-called condemning.
