In a little "jest" - I call it "New Jersey Retirement" - mainly because I know a few recipients from that state.

Attorneys build practices around it... It is an epidemic. Welfare...well, that's not that high on my radar.
Government handouts in all forms are the problem. When charity is private sector, especially when it is local, people have a motivation to make their limited resources help the most deserving people. They have the power to deny (or give) benefits based on common sense instead of bureaucratic policy. They can spend funds in a way that attracts more donors instead of buying the votes of the recipients. In short, private sector understands the difference between charity and communism.
