I think the point is being missed. No, you aren't funding the programs for this particular guy, when in fact this particular guy abused the system. The programs are there for the people like Dude's friend, and Julie's friend, a me and any other person who is in true need. There will always be the few who abuse the system, but throwing out the baby with the bath water doesn't seem very empathetic now does it.

I have no problem under the sun funding a program for people in need. People who truely are ill or penny less by no fault of their own. I'd give my last penny to help someone. Gladly.
I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water. But you could save money on diapers that way.
