Any assistance should have a strictly enforced time limit but that will never happen because it allows politicians to essentially buy votes and influence by handing out tax payer funded "free stuff" indefinitely to those that are either to lazy or ignorant to know better... just don't stop the gravy train. It's sad and a total exploitation of the less fortunate. They become enslaved and dependent on handouts with no incentive to better themselves.

In addition, those who are receiving handouts should not be allowed to vote. Now they just keep reelecting the same people pushing the handouts, so it will never end.
