"Idleness is sweet, and its consequences are cruel."
John Quincy Adams

I guess this would describe the welfare system in this country.   But the cruel consequences are to the people who are footing the bill.  

We have a problem in this country where not working and squandering your money is rewarded.   As anyone who has sent a child to college will agree.   If you work hard, don't overspend and save money you will not get any financial help.     BUT............If you live beyond your means and have huge bills you are entitled to cash.     ???????????????  Figure that one out.

Also people who are healthier  and younger than me are on the dole.   People on welfare still have money for tattoos, cigarettes, beer and lottery tickets.   Gold chains too.    One day a person came for surgery and also paid cash for liposuction (several thousand dollars) and was on Medicaid.  Go figure out that one.   There is always some was to beat the system but it would never work for me.
