Or maybe the problem -is- with the welfare system: a system which not only allows but encourages such behavior in the larcenous and the lazy. Remove the ability/incentive to finance their criminality with other people's money, and these individuals might have to try an honest living. As long as the system remains these people will see it as a cash cow (because that's exactly what it is) and continue to exploit it. Since this provides a ready-made plantation of votes for whomever promises and delivers the most "free" money and stuff, which changes depending upon who's in power, neither party is terribly interested in doing anything about this.
