Right, it should be a safety net, not a career choice. One of my best friend's wife worked for years in a grocery store. There were a few women that came in regularly who were on welfare and food stamps. Over the years one of these women's oldest daughter grew up and at 17 got knocked up and went on welfare and food stamps. The mother was bragging to my friend's wife about her daughter doing so well. To her welfare is the family business and she was a little upset that one of her kids was a boy and would have a harder time getting by because he can't get welfare as easily.
