Z, <It should be one when it has to be.>

Ideally, you want the handouts to end when they're no longer needed by society. Realistically, you create a dependence on said handouts. Kind of like a prescription drug that needs to be tightly controlled because of its habit-forming capabilities.

You could argue that liberal programs like Social Security can succeed if only given a second chance and more was done to keep it well-managed. But some will make the leap in logic and decide that the problems with Social Security are fundamental in nature and not implementation-specific. It comes down to whether you believe in the Great Society or in individual responsibilities.
