I don't know what full welfare bennies amount to in your state Russ, but in NY they amount to the general neighborhood of +$30,000. That is about the biggest incentive to not want to want to work I can think of. Cut those bennies back down to $15,000-$20,000 and all of a sudden the incentive to work would rear it's head again, wouldn't you think? This all started in the mid 60's with good intentions and like usual for goobermint programs, ballooned out of control. There really is no incentive to work when you can make that kind of money doing nothing. One factor is that bennies are all or nothing. Once you reach a certain income level you are completely cut off and that income level is not enough to really make it without real hardship. If the benefits were reduced on a sliding scale until your working income reached the level any particular state determines is above poverty level, I think we would be more successful in getting US families off the dole and back to work. It took 60 years to destroy the will to work in Americans and it would take some time to correct it, but at least it would be a start.
