If thier physically able to work? They should. And those that can? I am with the Founders with the following view (Ben Franklin precisely)"Can"...It should NOT...Not without strings attached. No one should be permitted ,unless physically or mentally unable to sustain themselves, to be provided with a lifetime of public assistance.This, no doubt, is the part where he cites the Generel Welfare clause as the authority for everything from welfare to Obamacare.
Congress is tasked to do what is best for the nation as a whole, to provide for the General Welfare of the people. This can include providing subsidies to big business or providing a safety net for the poor
"We should make the poor uncomfortable and kick them out of poverty."
