So the welfare system is a problem because of the minority of users who not only widely abuse drugs but also make and distribute them? Interesting. I wonder if you have the same warped view of businesspeople: they're all lying, cheating inside traders who prey on employees and consumers. Maybe the U.S. government should move toward a socialist if not communist state to ensure important businesses are doing what they should be doing. Maybe we should just jail them all: businesspeople and welfare recipients.
Pardon the hyperbole.
In my opinion, many of the problems in America would be solved by reallocating 10% of the military budget to education and public health care. That a welfare system exists is not a big problem.
