The answer simply is "no". Public housing, food stamps, etc are not long-term solutions yet too many use them as their primary means of support/income. That wasn't the intent of these programs but people prove time and time again that if you put your hand out then they'll keep taking and taking and taking.

Ah, Zombie Reagan! So glad you could join us.

Once again, Sweden and Germany prove you wrong; we're always going to have people who can't take care of themselves. Rather than lettin them starve in the streets, doesn't it make more sense to make sure they're taken care of?
