You've got a legitimate disorder that can be backed up with medical documentation? No problem.

Gaming the system to get free checks so you can blow it all on games and other frivolous crap? Cut the cord. I'm sure a number of the people crying about this are secretly fuming over getting their free meal tickets revoked.

But even if you have a legit disorder, collecting gibs just encourages you not to learn to cope with that disorder and lead the best life you can. That's what welfare does to people who could work, after all.

There is no way to deal with the excesses of the welfare state except to get rid of it entirely. The "good" news is that's going to happen eventually no matter how much tax money any government takes in. Because "entitlement" programs only grow, they never shrink.
