I'm all for personal responsibility, but I think it's important to consider that some people didn't have the same guidance and solid support system in place during their formative years.

Most of those people grew up in a household where they learned how to work the system and get every penny they can from the goverment. So it gos both ways. here is a whole culture of people in the system having children that get in the system who have children in the system etc..... and until we break those cycles the system will remain broken so adding on to the system is really not helping at all. The federal goverment has spent how many billions of dollars fighting poverty and it has done nothing. So my conclusion is not to keep throwing money into a broken system.
