Totally true. And I think the intent of welfare explains its effect. It was designed to turn more people into consumers by making productive people pay for their consumption. This is why the left wants mass immigration, and why blacks were not simply sent back to Africa when we were done with them, and why useless people such as the morbidly obese get free food and medicine. Everyone has to be consuming and getting as fat as possible so that the upper class can make more money. So yeah, this 600 lb life guy is pretty much biting the hand that feeds him and not the one that has destroyed him.
