I agree. My youngest brother lives in an apartment complex near Oklahoma U that is mostly section 8. The folks there have been kind enough to instruct him on how to get on welfare and stay on welfare for an indefinite period of time. No one there works, they mostly sit on their fat asses and apply for jobs every so often, then go screw up the interview on purpose. If they do happen to get jobs, they just don't show up.

Social workers are not encouraged to question this. They are just supposed to pass out the benefits packages and not ask questions. Our welfare system has done too much to let people get fat, dumb, happy and lazy. We've institutionalized poverty to the point that for many, being on welfare gets them a better standard of living than actually having a job and trying to pay their own bills would.
