Its a broken system that promotes unproductive behavior.
I know of a case where my buddy wanted to hire a young man (say 18ish). He was going to send him to trade school to be a bike mechanic and then employ him in his shop.
The kid turned down this offer ... because .... he just got approved for food stamps and could live off that.
BTW, he was from a family where 2 (now 3) generations were on gov't aid.
