What the government should do is instead of giving out free money to people on welfare they should give out some kind of card or stamps that allow the person to buy only necessary foods [i.e. things other than beer, cigarettes, ect.], clothing, and other necessary things. Also set up something with banks so that welfare recipients can pay their bills without getting their hands on any of the money, like having the person take their bills and a welfare card or whatever to the bank or something similar. And, if they don't already do this, offer free or reduced college/high school education. If they do that already they should incentives for people to get an education, although more money should be enough incentive, but whatever.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
